Michelle Obama honors military mothers, wives with Prince Harry at afternoon tea
She also called her mother, Marian Robinson, my rock and thanked her for teaching her patience.
The families dined in the East Room on light fare, including smoked salmon sandwiches, vegetable spring wraps, corn madeleines, mini cupcakes, bonbons and chamomile tea.

Harrys tour of the States also includes stops in Colorado to visit the British Armed Forces team, which is competing for the first time in the Warrior Games, a tournament for injured service members.
Look how intently he listens to the children. Reminds me of our President!
What a great OP, Cha!

(87,578 posts)He sure does look a lot like his father. Though I can see his mom their too, it gives him a gentler look.
As for the red hair, yup....

(305,447 posts)brother, she. Prince Harry has some very worthwhile stops set up in his tour of the US this time.
First stop: The White House with FL Michelle and SL Dr Jill Biden for High Tea Honoring Mother's Day with our Military Mothers and Wives!

Definitely noticed in all these years how this WH is a "beacon for showing appreciation & affection to the nation's citizens." As you so eloquently put it!

(87,578 posts)What a wonderful video. I just loved how at ease Prince Harry was with the children. Diana is watching him, knowing she raised two beautiful sons, kind, warm and sharing. Just like mom was.
The First Lady Michelle and Dr. Jill are such gracious hosts. They sure work hard too, making everyone feel welcome. Beautiful~
Excellent OP my dear!

(305,447 posts)Prince Harry comes in behind the scenes with Michelle, Jill, and the WH Staff to help out with the kids. Getting their gifts together for their Moms. He's quite engaging with all the children. We see the two boys in the OP got their pic taken on their phone with Michelle..
And, then they all come out en masse to surprise the Military Moms.. it was really all quite moving!
