ExclusiveAngelica Van Buren: Queen of the United States

Angelica Singleton became acting first lady when she married Abraham Van Buren, eldest son of 8th president of the United States Martin Van Buren. As daughter-in-law to the widower president, Angelica became the youngest White House hostess at age 20. She enjoyed being received as the “Queen of the United States” when she and her husband visited European royal courts early in their marriage, but this regal inspiration for entertaining and décor gained her criticism because the nation was experiencing an economic downturn.
