King Charles III met with President Joe Biden on July 10 to discuss climate change ahead of the NATO summit. This is their first time meeting since Charles' coronation in May.
The king didn't give Biden the"full Royal treatment" because it wasn't an official state visit, royal commentators and experts explained to Fox News Digital. Biden stopped by the United Kingdom for a quick meeting ahead of his appearance at the NATO summit.Biden and King Charles' meeting was a"show of shared strength" between the two countries, according to Shannon Felton Spence, royal expert anddirector of global communications at Harvard’s Belfer Center.
"The palace was not given enough time to plan for a formal state visit, which can take up to a year to prepare, so the president’s visit is considered a ‘mini’ visit or working visit to differentiate," Kinsey Schofield, host of the"To Di For Daily" podcast, told Fox News Digital.

Biden's trip to the U.K. marks the first time a U.S. president has visited the country since 2019, whenJoe Biden was given the"same special welcome" that previous presidents have enjoyed, according to British journalist and royal broadcaster Jonathan Sacerdoti.
