There is also the American first lady Jill Biden among the guests of honor at the street party hosted by Rishi Sunak as part of the thousands of similar popular gatherings organized today in the United Kingdom to continue celebrating yesterday’s solemn coronation of King Charles and of Queen Camilla. Joe Biden’s wife, sent to represent the US also at the ceremony in Westminster Abbey, stayed one day longer in London and – taking advantage of the sunnier weather than yesterday – did not miss the appointment of the invitation of the British prime minister. Jill was received with smiles and hugs by Sunak and his wife, Akshata Murty, businesswoman and heiress daughter of one of the richest tycoons in India, in an extremely relaxed atmosphere. The occasion was also useful to reaffirm the axis between London and Washington in supporting Ukraine against Russia, after the first lady had already presented herself at yesterday’s liturgy in Westminster dressed in the colors of the Ukrainian national banner. In fact, not only British volunteers involved in social projects, but also Ukrainian refugees and veterans who have found asylum on the island in recent months have been invited to the Downing Street party – among about 130 guests.
