On the eve of Charles III's coronation: Elena Zelenskaya met Kate Middleton and Jill Biden at a social reception. Photo

First Lady Elena Zelenskaya and Prime Minister Denis Shmygal attended a reception at Buckingham Palace ahead of the coronation of Charles III, which will take place today, May 6. About 1,000 VIP guests from around the world were reportedly invited to the dinner. The First Lady managed to communicate not only with the Princess of Wales and the First Lady of the United States but also with the monarch himself.

Zelenskaya distributed a photo from the social evening on her Instagram. In the frame, she posed with Kate Middleton and Jill Biden. For the reception at Buckingham Palace, Elena chose a black suit by the Ukrainian brand, decorating it with a brooch by Ruslan Baginsky. Middleton wore an electric-colored dress by Self-Portrait, and Biden wore a Tom Ford dress with a floral print (scroll to the bottom of the page to see the photo).

"Had the honor of chatting with Princess Kate Middleton of Wales and U.S. First Lady Jill Biden at the official reception for His Majesty Charles III's coronation. It is a real pleasure to meet these exquisite ladies with open hearts and great friends of Ukraine," Zelenska commented on the meeting in her personal blog.

Prince William's wife also reacted to the event. She posted the same picture on Instagram, writing, "Nice to see Jill Biden and Jelena Zelenska this evening.

Recall, as we previously clarified, the coronation of Charles III and his wife Camilla will take place on May 6. For its preparation was spent 250 million pounds sterling (12 billion hryvnias). However, the ceremony and the celebration will be held on a smaller scale than the coronation of Elizabeth II in 1953. OBOZREVATEL will be a text broadcast, so you'll be aware of all the events.

As OBOZREVATEL previously wrote, Charles III will wear the crown of St. Edward at the service, which was made in 1661. It weighs 4 pounds 12 ounces (2.2 kilograms) and is made of pure gold. Camilla is crowned with a Queen Mary crown made for the 1911 ceremony.
