As a gift, the White House said the Obamas presented the queen “with a custom photo album chronicling her visits with U.S. presidents and first ladies”.
“The queen’s been a source of inspiration for me, ” Obama said later at a news conference alongside British Prime Minister David Cameron.
The Obamas did not get to meet Princess Charlotte, but chatted in the Drawing Room of Apartment 1A Kensington Palace before dinner. “The spirit of “Yes we can” has informed the entire tour, and it’s an honour to meet the man who coined the phrase, and who exemplifies its spirit”.
