The relationship has always been more "special" to the UK than it is to us.  The term itself is a post-war, Churchillian invention meant to convey Britain's cautious satisfaction with the rise of a historically, culturally and linguistically linked United States as a global hegemon.

The US in 2022 has far more strategic allies than Britain, but our relationship is destined to remain "special" in a cultural sense.  Americans will always be mystified by Merry England.  Britons will continue to see America as the destination for their most successful.
