Jill Biden to Attend King Charles II Coronation Without President Biden

King Charles III is set to officially assume the throne in a religious ceremony on Saturday, with more than 2,000 guests expected to attend the coronation at Westminster Abbey. First Lady Jill Biden will attend, but President Joe Biden will not, as no U.S. president has ever attended a coronation. King Charles’ coronation will be pared back compared with his mother’s, but the core aspects will remain the same. The ceremony can be viewed in the U.S. on several channels, including ABC News, CBS, CNN, Fox News, BBC News Channel and NBC at 5 a.m. ET on Saturday.
