Barrack And Michelle Obama kept a secret - A Mouse whilst staying at Buckingham Palace

Both Barack and Michelle Obama whilst they were the President and first lady of the USA, had a not so nice surprise whilst meeting Queen Elizabeth during their visit to Buckingham Palace back in May 2011. I know this is a few years back now, but it was recently released how they met a little friend.

And in a new book by former President Obama’s national security advisor Ben Rhodes, The World As It Is: A Memoir of the Obama White House, out Tuesday, he reveals that despite feeling wonderstruck by the queen he also favorably compared the sovereign to his beloved grandmother, whom he nicknamed “Toot.”

“I really love the queen,” then-President Obama told Rhodes, according to the book. “She’s just like Toot, my grandmother. Courteous. Straightforward. All about what she thinks. She doesn’t suffer fools.”

However although they had a marvelous visit according to the book he was going over his speech when suddenly a rodent appeared.
