It’s a universally acknowledged truth: no one can resist handsome Prince Harry – not even the First Lady of the United States!
Michelle Obama appeared to thoroughly enjoy her time with the red-headed Prince when he was in town to tour the USO Warrior and Family Center at the Fort Belvoir military base in Fairfax County, Virginia.
Dressed in a sharp blue suit, Prince Harry was still sporting his sexy scruff during the tour.
Speaking to the crowd at the event, Michelle cheekily acknowledged the royal’s squeal-inducing presence, saying, “All right, ladies, Prince Harry is here. Don’t act like y’all don’t know!”
The First Lady and the Prince got along swimmingly for the rest of their engagement, joking with each other and gamely cheering on the USA vs England game that commenced afterwards.

But it wasn’t all fun and games for the royal. Speaking to the crowd on the subject of war veterans, Prince Harry spoke candidly about his experiences at war, and with injured veterans.
“I am in no doubt that my two deployments to Afghanistan changed the direction of my life,” said the 31-year-old, taking on a somber tone.
“There is very little that can truly prepare you for the reality of war. The experiences can be stark and long lasting,” he continued.
“Returning to the UK after my first deployment, I shared the flight home with three critically injured British soldiers, all in induced comas, and the body of a Danish soldier, killed in action,” said Harry.
Prince Harry enjoyed the USA v England game alongside Michelle Obama and Jill Biden, wife of vice-President, Joe Biden.
“It hit me then that this flight was one of many, carrying home men and women whose lives would be changed forever, and some who had made the ultimate sacrifice,” he added.
“From that moment, I knew I had a responsibility to help all veterans, who had made huge personal sacrifices for their countries, to lead healthy and dignified lives after service.”
Harry has been the ambassador and honorary president for the 2016 Invictus Games, a tournament for injured veterans.
Prince Harry met with President Obama later on during a White House visit.
