Biden's message to key ally as wife attends King Charles' coronation

Jill Biden will attend the coronation of King Charles III, becoming the first US first lady to do so. President Joe Biden called Charles last month to inform him of his wife’s plans to attend the coronation in his place. The first lady's attendance reinforces the strong and enduring ties between the US and the UK. Biden's decision to have his wife represent the nation at this major royal occasion does have historical precedent: First lady Nancy Reagan attended Charles’ wedding to Diana in 1981.
