Obama Gifts For Royal Children

Obama Gifts For Royal Children

US First Lady Michelle Obama took time out of her whirlwind trip to Britain to present gifts to Prince George and his newborn sister Princess Charlotte.

Mrs Obama met the young royals at a private reception at Kensington Palace yesterday, where she presented the two young children with presents made from her native America, the US Embassy said.

She gave six-week-old Charlotte an American-made Amish rocking chair and a personalised Alpaca baby blanket, according to an official travelling with her.

And she gave George, who will turn two next month, a red American-made children's wagon known as a Berlin Flyer P-Wee Wagon.

She met the youngsters at their London residence while she was in the capital on a trip to boost access to education for girls around the world.

Mrs Obama spoke to pupils at Mulberry School for Girls in the East End of London, where she was greeted by such ear-splitting screams her popularity was liked to Beatlemania.

The First Lady also spoke to Prince Harry as part of her promotion of the Let Girls Learn initiative.

She had been accompanied by her daughters Malia, 16, and Sasha, 14, and her mother, Marian Robinson, and flew out of Britain this morning.
