Extremely busy 2-year-old Prince George of Cambridge squeezed in an important meeting this week — and after his regular bedtime, too.

Kensington Palace tweeted photos Friday of George meeting Barack and Michelle Obama, who are visiting Britain to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's 90th birthday.

In the photos, George is dressed in pajamas and a highly stylish robe. This should be expected, as he is very busy and has no time to change between business and bedtime.

Prince George also thanked the Obamas for his rocking horse, which was given to him shortly after his birth in 2013. Thanks, Obamas.

George was reportedly allowed to stay up 15 minutes past his bedtime for the event. (Cue sunglasses emoji.)
