First lady Jill Biden is in London for the coronation of King Charles III
, the late queen's eldest son. No American president has ever attended a British coronation.
Afterward, Jill Biden and Murty met at the Downing Street residence with military veterans and their families participating in a health and wellness program. On Saturday, Jill Biden will represent the United States at the coronation at Westminster Abbey, seated among several hundred heads of state, royals from other nations and other guests who were invited to watch Charles and his wife, Camilla, be crowned king and queen. Afterward, she will attend a reception hosted by U.S. Ambassador Jane Hartley.
But the president and Charles are hardly strangers. They have chatted each other up at global climate events since Biden took office, and during the queen's funeral last year. They also spoke in April when Biden called to say he was sending the first lady to the coronation, and the president expressed interest in meeting with the king in the United Kingdom at a future date, the White House said at the time.
