The little prince was allowed to stay up past his bedtime to meet POTUS and FLOTUS.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry were also dressed casually – though not quite as casually as George – as they greeted the Obamas in the courtyard shortly before 7.30pm.
Attached to the photo posted on Twitter, Kensington Palace said, “Prince George meets The President and First Lady of the United States”.

The two-year-old donned his pjs to shake hands with President Obama on Friday (Apr. 22) during the first couple’s visit with the British royals.
Prince George has stayed up past his bedtime for a special visit from a very important world leader.
“He was able to show The President and First lady a rocking horse – given to George when he was born – and a stuffed toy – given to George when Princess Charlotte was born – that had been previously given to him by President and Mrs Obama”.

Mr Obama also met with British Prime Minister David Cameron and caused controversy when he advocated for the United Kingdom to remain in the European Union.
Queen Elizabeth II has met 11 U.S. presidents.
Kate Middleton stood by clapping as Prince William and President Obama looked on.
“The Queen’s been a source of inspiration for me, like so many people around the world”.
“Should we be fortunate enough to reach 90, may we be as vibrant as she is”, President Obama said.
