WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama is meeting with Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla.
The British royal couple is in the middle of a four-day tour of U.S. cultural and education sites. They paid a courtesy call on the White House while they are in Washington.
Obama could be heard telling the Prince of Wales that Americans are fond of the royal family. Obama says Americans like the royals much better than their own politicians, possibly including him.
The prince told Obama about his visit this week to Mount Vernon. That’s the home of America’s first president, George Washington. Prince Charles said he last visited Washington’s estate in Virginia in 1970.
Vice President Joe Biden also participated in the Oval Office meeting.
