Having hit Ireland yesterday, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama touched down in London Tuesday for an official state visit to the UK.

On the agenda? Meeting Prince William and Kate Middleton!

Having just returned from their honeymoon in the Seychelles, the newlyweds happily greeted Barack and Michelle Obama in Buckingham Palace. Check it out:

Kate, Will, Elizabeth

“So last week I caught a fish this big …”

Britain’s golden couple were still glowing from their royal wedding and subsequent retreat off the east coast of Africa as they talked with the First Family.

Chatting with the First Lady, Kate Middleton looked wonderful in a tan, form-fitting dress. William and Barack look engrossed in a talk about … something!

Upon their arrival at the Palace Tuesday, the Obamas were also greeted by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip, who gave them a tour of the premises.

 
In a rare honor, the President and First Lady were then given a 41-gun salute by Scots Guards in red jackets, who also played the Star Spangled Banner.

The President and Mrs. O will reside for two nights a six-room suite, last used by William and Kate on their wedding night. Wonder if … eh, forget it.
