Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has lunched with other Commonwealth heads of government at Buckingham Palace ahead of King Charles' coronation.

Mr Albanese had earlier on Friday met United Kingdom Prime Minister Rishi Sunak for talks he said focused on the AUKUS pact, trade and combating climate change.

Mr Albanese told reporters after the 30-minute meeting in Downing Street that he was glad the UK-Australian free trade deal had been completed in time for the King's coronation, which he called a "historic event of enormous significance".

Mr Albanese announced on Thursday that the trade agreement would come into force on May 31.

The PA news agency reported that the Princess of Wales, one of several royals at the lunch on Friday, was seen speaking with Mr Albanese and New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins.

The King, who is head of the Commonwealth, then joined a meeting of the leaders at Marlborough House in London.

The monarch mingled with leaders before they all gathered in the garden for a group photograph with the Commonwealth mace.

Representatives from 203 countries will be in London for the King's coronation on Saturday.
