DUCHESS REVIEW || the duke and duchess of cambridge meet mr and mrs obama✨
for their first engagement after their wedding, and catherine’s first engagement as a member of the royal family, the duke and duchess of cambridge met with president and first lady obama at buckingham palace. while the obamas were on diplomatic duty, undertaking a state visit to the uk, william and catherine were far more relaxed, enjoying a simple 20 minute informal chat with the most powerful couple in america.
dressed in a nude reiss dress, catherine was seen chatting animatedly to michelle obama in the grand 1844 room of buckingham palace. shortly before this meeting - the contents of which were kept private - the obamas had met with the queen, the duke of edinburgh, the prince of wales, and the duchess of cornwall. the couple also received a 41-gun salute.
