Joe Biden Meets King Charles For The First Time Since Coronation

In his three-nation trip to Europe, United States President Joe Biden was greeted by King Charles at Windsor Castle after the President met with U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Monday.

This is the first meeting of Biden with the King since the British monarch’s coronation in May 2023.

King Charles, 74, acceded to the throne last September after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth. Biden did not attend his coronation ceremony in keeping with U.S. tradition, and the White House was represented by First Lady Jill Biden and granddaughter Finnegan Biden in the ceremony.

However, Biden attended the funeral of Queen Elizabeth, and he last met Queen Elizabeth at her home outside London in June 2021.

Biden arrived at the royal residence via helicopter on Monday and was driven up to the doors of the historic building in a car displaying the U.S. flag. The King greeted the President at the door, and ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ performance rang across the grounds.

According to reports, Biden and the King had tea while discussing many issues. After their discussion, the President was taken on a tour of the White Drawing Room, where items from the Royal Collection describing the United States of America are displayed. The pair then joined the Climate Finance Mobilisation Forum in the Green Drawing Room.
