LONDON, United Kingdom: Britain's Queen Elizabeth II (L) shakes hands with Shinichirou Nagai (R), General Manager at the London Liason office of Chubu Electric, Japan's third largest electric company, after being introduced to Nicholas Thomas (2nd R), Director of Corporate Affairs for U.K and Ireland at Esso UK Limited/Exxonmobil, as Professor Victor Bulmer-Thomas OBE, Director of Chatham House (2nd L) looks on at Chatham House, in London, 20 April 2006. The Queen visited the Royal Institute of International Affairs at Chatham House to mark the 80th anniversary of the Institute's Royal Charter. The Queen also listened to a debate and discussion on the "World in 2020" by research staff at the House. The Monarch celebrates her 80th birthday 21st April, with a walkabout in Windsor town followed by a dinner in the evening hosted by her son Prince Charles in her honour.

Former Chatham House director Dr. Victor Bulmer-Thomas discusses his book “Empire in Retreat” which explains that the U.S. became an empire from its very inception and how it developed a new form of semi-global empire through institutions which it used to manage the world (e.g. UN & Bretton Woods). He believes the retreat of U.S. Empire is accelerating under the Trump administration due to inherent internal problems such as a declining economy (e.g. crumbling infrastructure, deteriorating quality of education), social inequality, and a consequent growth of anti-exceptionalism and anti-militarism among its own citizenry.
