Prince Harry subsequently appeared with Michelle Obama on the TODAY show to further promote the games. But as it turned out, the Prince and the former FLOTUS go back even further than that.

In 2013, Prince Harry surprised guests at Michelle Obama’s Mother’s Day tea at the White House. Since then, Mrs. Obama has not been shy about her admiration for the prince, even expressing that they were friends. This was long before Harry even had an inkling of Meghan Markle, but little did anyone know that Michelle Obama would have a special relationship to Harry’s future wife.
