Jill Biden Represents U.S. at King Charles' Coronation Solo, Meets Sunak's Wife at Downing Street.

First Lady Jill Biden arrived in London to attend the coronation of King Charles III on Saturday, representing the United States. She engaged in soft diplomacy by meeting with Akshata Murty, the wife of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, and attending a reception hosted by King Charles III at Buckingham Palace. President Joe Biden did not attend the coronation, citing precedent, but expressed interest in meeting with the king in the future. First ladies often stand in for presidents when they can't be present.
