Specialist note

The mahogany of this eagle is applied with a plaque inscribed ‘Presented to the Hon. Margaret Thatcher, Prime Minister of Great Britain for staunch and spirited support of the market economy principle. The Award was presented by the Hon. Walter H. Annenberg with the best wishes from Ronald Reagan President of the United States June 13th 1984, presented at the Foreign Office 10 Downing Street’. Walter H. Annenberg (1908-2002) was a former United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom and a friend of President Ronald Reagan. Annenberg’s wife, Leonore was appointed by Reagan as his Chief of Protocol and Annenberg has been credited with introducing Mrs. Thatcher to Reagan, thereby initiating their special relationship.

This Eagle stood in the hallway of Mrs. Thatcher's last home, 73 Chester Square, London.
