She broke every protocol short of picking the Queen up and giving her a noogie.

Michelle Obama has given the Queen an early birthday surprise by announcing she will accompany the US President when he has lunch with Her Majesty later this week.
Mrs Obama has struck up a firm friendship with the Queen during her previous visits to the UK, and famously ignored royal protocol to put her arm around the monarch's shoulders in 2009.
Until now, the US Embassy had indicated that President Barack Obama would be on his own for a private lunch with the Queen at Windsor Castle on April 22, the day after she turns 90.
But Buckingham Palace has confirmed that Mr and Mrs Obama will make up a foursome for lunch with the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.
The Obamas will also have a private, informal dinner with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry at Kensington Palace later the same day, their spokesman announced.
The Duke, who met Mr Obama in the Oval Office in 2014, extended the invitation and the Obamas gladly accepted.

I stopped reading when this garbage said
“Firm friendship”. Riiiight... The queen is “ friends” with moooochell
Think... Firm friends???- why was she never given an invitation?
And HAD to announce she is coming — like it or not!!
How about kidney pie? Brits love it.
To have some chance of sunshine for the associated outdoor ceremonies, such as Trooping the Colour. London weather, yanno....
Oh; they KNOW the truth about those sorts of things. They
lie to themselves about it. - If one isn’t willing to
tell themselves the truth; they’re stuck. - I have not
invented anything in my life; but I’m grateful for the
people the Lord gave us who have invented terrific
innovations that enhance my life.
You expressed my own thoughts there. I agree with you.
Mooshelle informs the Queen of England she WILL BE attending.
What a hoot!
The Queen should cancel the event.
She shouldn’t have to suffer through the event with either of these two louts in attendance.
“I would love to know what Sir Winston would say about this.”
well he did describe Gandhi as a “seditious, half-naked fakir” so I am sure he would have something equally descriptive for the Obamas.
She broke every protocol short of picking the Queen up and giving her a noogie.
American Klass,

Michelle’s presence is a “birthday” surprise? If that’s a birthday gift, spare me ever having another birthday celebration. It’s more like a birthday plague.
Is there a ping list for the FREEPER Fashion Police?
Don’t forget Algonquin J. Calhoun (Sharpton).
I can’t wait to see how they embarrass us this time.
Yeah...if “I” were Queen I would suddenly be ill...just before lunch.
Warn everyone but the Obama’s that the lunch won’t take place.
Then let Barack and Michelle show up only to be told it had been canceled weeks prior.
LOL
The Queen IS about to be 90! For heavens sake she should be able to “rule” her own guest list.
THE QUEEN WOULD PREFER ROOT CANAL.......
Works for me...
Ha I just went to all of those places just a couple of days ago. If you find yourself on Exhibition road where the V&A is head down to Paul’s a great french bakery... order the hot chocolate. Trust me ... youre welcome.
I beg to disagree with respect to Harry. Harry served in Afghanistan in a hot war zone and was not given any special treatment. Of all the “royals” I like Harry the best.

After 10 years of military service, he’s recently retired but I think if he could, if his birth and royal obligations didn’t dictate otherwise, he probably would have stayed in the military as he seemed to feel most at home there.

“Harry Wales”, lol. Isn’t their last name officially Windsor? Wonder if he’s been using that one since elementary school.
Handsome, funny and humble, I suppose Charles should be given credit for raising such a good chap, at the very least.
