The Obama family is on a week-long tour of Britain and Italy to promote Mrs Obama's Let Girls Learn initiative.

This morning Mrs Obama and her two daughters Sasha and Malia will visit at Mulberry School for Girls in Tower Hamlets, east London.

They are joined on the trip by Mrs Obama's mother Marian Robinson, 77.

Mrs Obama will host a discussion with the director of the Research for Equitable Access and Learning Centre at Cambridge University and a Peace Corps volunteer.

Julia Gillard, former prime minister of Australia and a strong advocate for girls’ education, is also expected to join after for a Q&A session.

Mulberry School for Girls is just a short drive from Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School which Mrs Obama visited in 2009.

The Let Girls Learn initiative has been championed by Mrs Obama and her husband, US president Barack Obama.

Later, the Obamas will meet Prince Harry two years after he attended a Mother's Day tea for military mothers with the First Lady in the US.

Mrs Obama's chief of staff Tina Tchen said: 'He was wonderful and it was wonderful to have him here.

Ms Tchen added that they would be able to talk about 'that shared interest that they have on military families'.

The Joining Forces campaign - another of those spearheaded by the first lady - 'works hand in hand with the public and private sectors to ensure that service members, veterans and their families have the tools they need to succeed throughout their lives'.

David and Samantha Cameron will then host Mrs Obama and her daughters for tea at Number 10 Downing Street.

After London, the group party will fly on to Italy to meet US armed services families based in Europe and to visit the Milan Expo as part of the third strand of her work, encouraging healthier diets for children.
