Prince William and President Obama talk baby George, If there’s one thing that can break the diplomatic ice between two great countries–or at the very least make a public tete-a-tete a little less awkward–it’s babies. On Monday, Prince William and President Obama found common ground over the “chaos” of first-time fatherhood.
“And last time, I remember when George was born, I forgot to work out whether it was a boy or a girl,” the prince can be heard telling the president in a pool video as the two sat down for a chat in the Oval office. “The excitement of the event and everything else was just chaos.”
“You forgot to ask?” laughed Obama.
“It’s going to be interesting next year,” said the prince. “A busy year next year.” Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (the former Kate Middleton), is expecting the royal couple’s second child in April.
The White House press corps was allowed in the Oval Office for about five minutes during the royal’s much anticipated visit. William deftly ignored questions from reporters (“You’ve got pretty much every member of the press here,” he quipped) while a photo-ready Obama passed out a few paltry, “Nice to see you’s” and “Thank you’s.” After that journalists were whisked out of the room, presumably so the two men could chat privately.
