Even though it might not serve any "useful purpose" the president meets with much lesser official people. You would think meeting the Queen would, at the very least, send out a positive message or just a good vibe to the world.

The Queen of England is not the Prime Minister.
The Queen is the Monarch. She doesn't have any political power. Her Prime Minister executes all matters related to politics on her behalf.
Tony Blair would meet the President, but not necessarily the Queen. That would only be a photo opportunity and would serve no useful purpose relating to politics.

In respone to "Always" answer.....the Queen is the Head of State as is the US President who is also the head of government. The British Prime Minister is the head of government.
