Prince Harry And Obama Meet And Discuss Veterans Issues

Prince Harry hosted former US President Barack Obama at Kensington Palace today.

They discussed a range of shared interests including support for veterans, mental health, conservation, empowering young people and the work of their respective foundations.

They also discussed this week's terrorist attack in Manchester, with President Obama offering his condolences to the victims and support for those recovering from injuries.

The meeting followed a visit to Scotland by Mr Obama on Friday, where he enjoyed a game of golf in St Andrews before attending a private charity dinner in Edinburgh.

The two men developed a friendly rivalry in the run-up to Harry's Invictus Games for wounded servicemen last year, when the former president challenged the Prince to get the Queen involved in their competition about whether the US or UK would triumph in the contest.

The pair also met in 2016 during Mr Obama's visit to the UK along with First Lady Michelle, during a dinner with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
