First Lady Jill Biden is in London for the coronation of King Charles II on Saturday, dispatched by President Joe Biden to represent the United States.
While in London, the first lady is engaging in some soft diplomacy. She spent part of Friday at No. 10 Downing St., the prime minister's official residence, meeting with Akshata Murty, the wife of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. The women also planned to meet with veterans and their families participating in a health and wellness program.
Jill Biden will also mingle at a Sunday luncheon hosted by Sunak and Murty at their Downing Street residence before her flight back to Washington. Most modern-era first ladies, including Jill Biden, have engaged with members of the British royal family because the late queen had met every American president since Eisenhower, except for Lyndon Johnson.
