The caption accompanied a sweet photo of when she and President Obama, 56, met Prince George at the royal residence in 2016.

The toddler prince wore his white dressing gown, pyjama bottoms and slippers for the meeting.

The Obamas enjoy a close relationship with the Cambridges and Prince Harry, with whom they have collaborated on a number of philanthropic and charitable causes. 

In a surprise move, both President and Mrs Obama were left off the guest list for the royal wedding of Harry and Meghan Markle next month.  

The situation has left royal watchers wondering whether the Obamas, who are close to the prince, may have done the ‘decent thing’ and stepped aside so as not to ruffle the feathers of Mr Trump.

Look radiant in a red dress like the Duchess in Jenny Packham

The newest member of the Royal family has finally arrived, and of course all eyes are on the doors of the Lindo Wing to get a glimpse of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's baby boy.

Kate looked radiant in red to introduce the little prince to the world. How does she make it look so easy? When leaving the hospital with both George and Charlotte when they were newborn, she chose bespoke dresses by Jenny Packham, so it's no surprise that's what she has gone for again. If it ain't broke...

Following on from her blue polka dot dress and the yellow buttercup print number, this flattering style features a contrast white lace collar and is rather reminiscent of the dress Princess Diana wore when leaving the hospital with newborn Prince Harry.

It's certainly a departure from Jenny Packham's signature embellished gowns but click (right) to browse the current ready-to-wear collection at NET-A-PORTER.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge left the Lindo Wing, at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, with their newborn son at around 6pm on Monday night.

The prince's name has yet to be revealed but bookmakers' odds suggest he could be called James. 

Royal supporters were treated to a rare sighting of Prince George, four, and Princess Charlotte, two, when Prince William, 35, brought his two eldest children to meet their younger brother. 

While Kate, 36, is expected to attend the royal wedding of Prince Harry, 33, and Meghan Markle, 36, next month, she will then take time away from the spotlight to focus on spending time with her three young children, aides have confirmed.
