Michelle Obama and her daughters on a whistle-stop tour of London

#LetGirlsLearn #MichelleObama #PrinceHarry U S First Lady Michelle Obama and her daughters Sasha and Malia had a whistle-stop of London where they met Prince Harry and had tea with him at Kensington Palace and later had a brief meeting with the Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife Samantha on the steps of 10 Downing Street.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 17 June 2015.

The family had spent two days in London – the reason for their coming was to highlight her campaign Let Girls Learn to bring girls in the world's most impoverished communities into education. The First Lady had discussed her ongoing effort to improve education for girls across the third world.
She explained that she had grown up in a working class neighborhood where people work hard to make ends meet and where families are tight-knit with strong values. She had her grandparents, aunts, and cousins living nearby, just blocks away from her apartment.
Moreover, her home was often busy with family coming and going and, since the apartment was small, there was not much privacy. At times, it was difficult to concentrate on the homework because someone was always talking or watching TV right next to me.
Among her engagements was a visit to Mulberry School in Tower Hamlets, East London, whose female pupils she said 'inspired her'.
From London, the family left for Milan on completion of their two day tour.
