The united" target="_blank">United States ambassador to the united" target="_blank">United Kingdom (known formally as, The Ambassador of the united" target="_blank">United States of America to the Court of St James's) is the official representative of the president of the united" target="_blank">United States and the American government to the monarch (Court of St. James's) and government of the united" target="_blank">United Kingdom. The position is held by Jane D. Hartley, who presented her credentials to Queen Elizabeth II on July 19, 2022.
The position is regarded as one of the most prestigious posts in the united" target="_blank">United States Foreign Service due to the "special relationship" between the united" target="_blank">United States and the united" target="_blank">United Kingdom.

The ambassador and executive staff work at the American Embassy in Nine Elms, London. The official residence of the ambassador is Winfield House in Regent's Park.
