For one, Prince Harry has been good chums with Barack Obama since the latter’s days in the White House. They first met in 2015, when Prince Harry sat down with Obama in the Oval Office for a chat.

“I’ve had an opportunity to spend a lot of time with so many of his family members, but this is the first time that we had a chance to talk directly,” Obama said in light of their meeting. Prince Harry stopped by to discuss the Invictus Games, which were held in Florida that year. Harry and Barry were seen frequently together, as you will soon see, which is why many thought the Obamas introduced him to Meghan.
