President Joe Biden and King Charles III were friends with the president’s U. K. stopover on Monday, forgoing formal greetings and laughing at a rite of welcome at Windsor Castle.

Biden met with the king and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in a meeting that the White House said was aimed at “further strengthening the close relationship between our nations,” Reuters reported on Sunday. Both Biden and Sunak will attend the 74th NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, which begins on Tuesday.

Charles and Biden have already met several times, at the G7 Leaders’ Summit in Cornwall, England, in June 2021 and at COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland, in November 2021.  

Here are Biden’s most productive candid photographs with Charles.
