Charles and Camilla count down to coronation as they head to Houses of Parliament
The King and Queen Consort met Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer at a reception with MPs, peers and staff at Westminster Hall ahead of the coronation. Charles appeared relaxed as he shook hands with Mr Sunak and Sir Keir, who set party politics aside as they laughed and smiled with Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle. Between 650 and 750 parliamentarians gathered in the hall for the reception, alongside staff from the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
