The Duchess of Sussex stayed behind with their children in Montecito since the May 6 coronation date coincided with Archie's birthday. Harry and Meghan share Archie and daughter Lilibet, 1.

Several royals and dignitaries from around the world arrived Friday ahead of the highly anticipated royal event. 

First lady Jill Biden flew in Friday morning to represent the United States at the coronation while President Biden stayed behind. No U.S. president has ever attended a coronation for a British monarch. After she landed, Biden visited with Akshata Murthy, wife of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, at No.10 Downing Street.

The two later met with students at the Charles Dickens Primary School in London. Afterward, Biden stopped by the U.S. Embassy to greet staffers before attending the star-studded reception hosted by Charles and Camilla at Buckingham Palace.
