After a day of celebrating the coronation of King Charles, U.S. First Lady Jill Biden and Akshata Murthy, the wife of U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, attended a Soul Cycle class at the Notting Hill studio in London.
Attendees first knew something was up when over 10 security guards greeted them at the studio. Biden is a well-known regular at Soul Cycle, as is Murthy, who sometimes attends with her husband.
PEOPLE understands they struck up a bond during the coronation, perhaps over their mutual love for spinning. The duo then went on to have a well-earned feast at No. 10.
