LONDON – Dozens of Britons had started to camp out on Thursday to save their spots along the route of the upcoming historic royal processions — still two nights away.
For most Londoners, this week is an opportunity to celebrate their British pride. Military jets will be flying over the city on Saturday to stream red, white, and blue smoke.
The ceremony will be more inclusive than when his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, was crowned nearly seven decades ago, but it will have a much shorter guest list.
About 2,800 guests, instead of 8,000, will witness the ceremony in person — including First Lady Jill Biden; Japan’s Crown Prince Akishino and his wife, Kiko; and Spain’s King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia.
First Lady Jill Biden is scheduled to visit the U.S. Embassy on Friday, in London.
