Prince Harry meets with Barack and Michelle Obama

Prince Harry met President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama during a visit to the US to promote the Invictus Games.

The games, based on the Warrior Games which took place in Colorado in 2013, are designed for wounded service personnel. The first event took place in London last year. The Prince and the President's wife joined forces to launch the 2016 Invictus Games.

The royal began his tour with Mrs Obama to meet injured service personnel at the USO Warrior and Family Centre at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, close to Washington. He was given a tour of the Virginia base's rehabilitation facilities and met several of the soldiers and airmen being supported there, after suffering life-altering injuries in the line of duty. The Prince arrived at the sports centre to cheers from the assembled gathering while Mrs Obama, joined by Dr Jill Biden, vice-president Joe Biden's wife, high-fived the servicemen and women as she entered.
