President Obama stays far away from America with Prince Harry

Where is Meghan Markle?

President Barack Obama moved on from his picture-perfect vacation in Italy for basically the next-best thing: hanging out with Prince Harry.

The president met up with future Mr. Meghan Markle at Kensington Palace in London on Saturday, the palace shared on Twitter and Instagram.

The two world leaders discussed "a range of shared interests, including support for veterans, mental health, conservation, empowering young people and the work of their respective foundations," the palace noted.

The pair also talked about Monday's terrorist attack that killed 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester. Obama offered his condolences to victims and support to those recovering, the palace said.

Michelle Obama wasn't pictured in the royal family's reports — maybe she's still busy keeping off-the-shoulder tops relevant in Italy?

Thank you, Obama, for strengthening ties between our two nations ahead of our matrimonial union.
