Biden to Skip King Charles III's Coronation Due to Age
President Biden is expected to skip the coronation of King Charles III next month, with first lady Jill Biden leading a delegation to the United Kingdom for the event. In the past, US presidents have not attended British monarch coronations, opting to send delegations instead. Some are offended by Biden's absence, calling it "remiss" and a missed opportunity for the head of state to attend a once-in-a-lifetime event.
