Michelle Obama gives Queen birthday surprise as she decides to accompany US President at his lunch*
The Telegraph (U.K.) ^ | 4/19/2016 | Gordon Raynor

Posted on 04/20/2016 4:54:16 AM PDT by simpson96

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.

The Queen thought she was getting a preview of the new Star Wars movie.

What jackasses. President Sambo showed up with an iPod full of his oral diarrhea last time, perhaps he’ll bring the Queen a skateboard or a bottle of grape drank this time around.

He’s Harry Son of the Prince of Wales. So they left out his middle names.

I don’t know if the Ocean Liner QEII is still afloat but, if it won’t hurt the ship, maybe Obozo and Moochelle could be keelhauled in the finest tradition of Her Majesty’s Navy which could take over QE II for that effort.

She invited herself? I wouldn’t be surprised, neither of the Obamas have an ounce of couth or knowledge of, or concern for, ettiquette. But they milk every drop of ceremony due to them.

That a surprise like biting into your sandwich and finding half a cockroach.

That ain't funny to me. I've done it. Steak sandwich at DQ. Big ass roach too!

>>Are they going to be serving ribs? Do they have that on the menu in England? What a nice gift for the queen, watching the wookie chow down.

I can’t wait to see what kind of hot sauce Moobacca carries in her purse. Apparently that’s a thing now for black women, according to Hillary.

"I can’t wait to these people are out, but I have a feeling they will still be on TV for years to come as they love the limelight."

Once they get to Hawaii, not so much (limited opportunities for live interviews due to time shift, going to anything on the continent requires lots of planning, etc). He'll seethe under President Trump, but do it through his journolist cadre.

I wonder how much pressure they put on the queen to have lunch with them on her actual 90th birthday.
