TL;DR Summary

President Joe Biden caused a stir by touching King Charles III during an arrival ceremony at Windsor Castle, while the King appeared to lose his cool after Biden engaged in conversation with a Welsh Guard for too long. Despite breaching protocol by touching the monarch, Buckingham Palace stated that Biden did not violate any rules and the King was "entirely comfortable" with the encounter. The two leaders met to discuss climate change efforts and participated in a "climate engagement" with business leaders and officials. Biden also had a meeting with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to strengthen cooperation and discuss joint economic security. Following the meetings, Biden departed for Vilnius and will attend the NATO leaders' summit before meeting with Nordic leaders in Helsinki.
