Barack Obama & Prince Harry Hung Out Together & We’re All Jealous

Do you remember when your mom used to arrange playdates for you? As easy as those days were, the true sign of friendship was when you were old enough to hang out with someone without parents influencing you. Former President Barack Obama proved that his bond with Prince Harry is real even without the the pressure of foreign diplomacy when he took the time to visit the prince on a recent trip to Europe, Cosmopolitan reports.

According to Obama’s Twitter, he first “offer[ed] condolences to victims of the Manchester attack” during their meeting at Kensington Palace. People reports that the duo also covered mutual interests like supporting veterans, mental health and the empowerment of youth. Wouldn’t you love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation? 

Obama and Prince Harry, along with the rest of the royal family, have a long history of hosting each other over the course of Obama’s presidency. A recent BBC Radio interview with Prince William and Duchess Kate also proved that Obama probably doesn’t have a favorite royal brother (can you blame him?), as William hinted it may be possible for him to arrange a radio interview with Obama.

Both men seem to have remained tight with the former commander-in-chief, and after this meeting with Harry, we have a serious case of FOMO. Can these bros hang out together in the States next time?
