Looks like a relaxed atmosphere at Kensington Palace this evening with the Obamas.(Love the pre-dinner photos)
The photos of George meeting the Obamas are adorable.
They are very cute. BTW didn't the Obamas send a rocking horse to the Cambridges when George was born or am I thinking of another gift?

George looks cute in his dressing gown and pjs, and love the rocking horse. However, this event just looks rather awkward and terribly, terribly staged to me, down to the appearance of George and the carefully placed presents the Obamas have sent him. Odd for a couple (the Cambridges) who, it's inferred, don't like putting their children on show for the cameras.
Bringing out the Obama's gifts is the equivalent of when there is a state dinner and the palace will setup a display of items in the Royal collection from that country.
I did have a laugh at putting out the rocking horse they gave George ...Oh yes he loves it rides it all the time .. Funnier still I'm sure Obama didn't even know what he gave as a present.

It is totally staged, and is clear to me that William defines when the privacy of his children is being intruded. So George in the park on his kick board is bad bad paparazzi business but George in his pj's at home is fine because the potus is around and the pictures create so much positive headlines for the Cambridges to get rid of the workshy imageI'm afraid it all looks rather awkward, as it nearly always does on social occasions with people who don't know each other very well. To me it looks staged, down to the carefully placed toys the Obamas sent George (the rocking horse and stuffed dog.) Rather odd behaviour from a couple who dislike their children being placed before cameras or receiving undue public scrutiny. George looks a bit bewildered, to be honest.
