Joe Biden on Friday left Americans scratching their heads with an off-the-cuff remark that was, well, royally unusual for a US president: "God save the queen, man!"
What he meant, which queen he was referring to, and why he threw in what sounded like the traditional patriotic British cry, no one could immediately tell.
Queen Elizabeth II, whom Biden met, died in September 2022 and was replaced by a king — her son Charles.

TEHRAN, Jun. 17 (MNA) – In the latest gaffe on Friday, Joe Biden unexpectedly ended a speech on gun control by saying, “God save the Queen, man” — after warning his audience they could be liable for the actions of people who steal their cars.
The 80-year-old president’s signoff confounded listeners, including journalists in the room at the University of Hartford’s campus in Connecticut.
Later Friday, deputy White House press secretary Olivia Dalton told reporters that Biden “was commenting to someone in the crowd,” without further clarification.
“God Save the Queen” was the name of the British national anthem under Queen Elizabeth II, as well as a customary nationalistic statement during her 70-year reign. She died in September and was succeeded by her son, Charles III, reverting the anthem and royalist motto to “God Save the King.”
