The first stop on First Lady Michelle Obama’s week-long European tour was Kensington Palace for tea with Prince Harry.
The prince was “very pleased” to host the first lady, her daughters Sasha and Malia, and her mother Marian Robinson, according to Kensington Palace.
The two discussed their mutual desire to help military families, as well as Michelle Obama’s “Let Girls Learn” worldwide initiative. The two first connected in 2013 when Prince Harry visited in the White House in 2013 for a “Joining Forces” event honoring military families.
The tea was closed to the public.
Michelle Obama also visited students at the Mulberry School for Girls in London.
“There are 60 million girls all around the world, just like the girls here [at Mulberry] but they’re not getting an education,” the first lady said at a roundtable with Julia Gillard, the former prime minster of Australia.
The first lady is scheduled to meet with Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife Samantha later Tuesday. She departs Wednesday for Italy to lead the U.S. Delegation at the Milan Expo 2015, before traveling to Venice and Vicenza to meet with U.S. military families.
