Biden and King Charles III Forge Alliance at NATO Summit

President Joe Biden met with King Charles III for the first time since his coronation. They began their meeting with breakfast tea at Windsor Castle, followed by discussions on climate change and China. The meeting showcased royal pageantry and a friendly atmosphere, with Biden participating in the inspection of the honor guard and putting his arm around the king. Biden's decision to skip the king's coronation was not a snub but rather a tradition, as no American president has ever attended a British monarch's swearing-in ceremony. This meeting marked another encounter between Biden and King Charles III, who have previously met at the COP26 climate summit.
