Jill Biden and granddaughter send subtle secret message with Coronation outfits
US First Lady Dr Jill Biden and her granddaughter Finnegan Biden wore matching blue and yellow dresses to King Charles III's coronation ceremony, in a display of solidarity with Ukraine.
Seated next to Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska, the two women showed their support for the invaded country where Russia has waged war for over a year.

The blue and yellow colours of the dresses were a clear nod to the Ukrainian flag, and the choice of attire was widely praised on social media.
