Jill Biden will lead a U.S. delegation to the ceremony, as U.S. officials note that no president has ever attended a British coronation.

The White House has not yet formally announced Biden’s trip to Northern Ireland and Ireland, but officials have compared the Ireland portion of the trip to one he took in 2016, near the end of his tenure as vice president under Barack Obama.

He regularly quotes Irish poetry, concedes he has an Irish temper and is quick to unspool his Irish lineage as a proud descendant of the Blewitts of County Mayo and the Finnegans of County Louth. “As many of you know, I, like all of you, take pride in my Irish ancestry,” Biden said at the White House St. During his trip to Belfast, Biden will mark the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, which mostly ended 30 years of sectarian violence between pro-Ireland Catholics and pro-Britain Protestants.
