On Saturday Prince Harry hosted Obama during the former US President’s latest visit to Europe.
Obama visited Kensington Place following his first ever visit to Scotland. He golfed at St Andrew’s and spoke at a charity dinner in Edinburgh.
Prince Harry and Obama spoke about the work of their foundations and issues close to both of them.
“Good to see my friend Prince Harry in London to discuss the work of our foundations and offer condolences to victims of the Manchester attack.” Obama tweeted.
The former President and First Lady have a strong relationship with the young Royals. Michelle Obama had dinner with Princes Harry and William, the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince George. In 2015, Prince Harry visited the White House.
Kensington Place said that: “They discussed a range of shared interests including support for veterans, mental health, conversation, empowering young people and the work of their respective foundations.”
Mental health as been a key issue for Prince Harry who has spoken publicly about receiving counselling.
Kensington Palace also said that they discussed the terrorist attack in Manchester. Obama offered his condolences to the victims and support for those recovering from their injuries.
The tragic incident following an Ariana Grande concert left 22 dead and more than 59 injured after a suicide bomber detonated his explosives.
While in Germany Obama delivered a message to Manchester alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby.
“As the father of two daughters, I am heartbroken by the extraordinary tragedy that has occurred in Manchester
“To all the families who have been affected, to those who are still recovering, to those who’ve lost loved ones, it’s unimaginable to think about the cruelty and the violence that the city of Manchester has suffered,” he said.
Well President Obama with flair goes where President Trump did not dare tread. I also hope that you will report more to America about President Trump nearly open-handed collapsing of NATO after your meeting with Chancellor Angela Merkel President Obama; and, please try to discover how Russia and China may take advantage of what Trump did in Europe. I have prayed for those who died in Manchester and those wounded. Her Majesty the Queen seems to have cheered some of the injured children up by her visit to their hospital beds yesterday.
Good that President Obama is involved with our young princes, I don´t think that 45 is invited here, and hope he don´t even try to get close to this family ever!
Well I see that many commenters back the new “special relationship” with Donald Trump. As a relative of Sir Winston Churchill I can imagine him puffing furiously on his cigar as Donald Trump hands him and all other NATO countries a bill for Ivanka Trump’s fashion show during their meeting, and a whopping one for their defense. Obama made many mistakes in my belief; but, were ever told in Britain to ante up before he gave you basic military defense, especially prepared to abrogate our commitment for that defense if you could not afford it? What was the bill for the Normandy invasion? Does the special relationship of “cousins” have a price tag, as La Donald placed on it last week with his “Art of the deal?”
awesome!
I hate to acknowledge stupid but I just could not help myself this time! Are you really that Stupid? That is Trump and Russia, Not our allies in England dumb ass!
Think the royals will ever have the same relationship with Trump, the way they do with the Obama’s? Oh wait… I remember… stupid question. Moving on.
Poppycock, what has Obama done for the U.K. during his 8 years in office? NOTHING!!! Europe has been under attack from Islamic Terrorist that flourished under his administration and now you guys welcome him as King and Emperor?? No wonder the U.K., like France and now Germany is turning into 3rd world countries. I’ve seen the enemy and it is YOU!!!
