It's Always a Competition

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden sat in the 14th row for the Queen’s funeral on Monday. Former President Donald Trump mocked Biden for where he was seated, saying that he would have had a better seat.

Biden's position was likely decided by factors that would not be different if Trump were president, including how he traveled to the funeral and because he is not related to the Queen, he is not a monarch, and the US is not a member of the Commonwealth.

A seating chart published by The Times of London shows that those seated appeared to be arranged in the following order: the family of the Queen, monarchs, leaders of the Commonwealth, and other world leaders.
