In the post, they congratulated the Duke and Duchess on their newest member of the family and then set plans for another pyjama party into motion.

“Barack and I are thrilled to congratulate The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on their newest arrival,” wrote Michelle.

“We hope to meet him soon for a Kensington Palace pyjama party. I’ll wear my robe!”

It’s a firm reminder of the Obamas’ close friendship with the royal family – and yet another reason to feel a little glum about the fact that the couple have not been invited to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s nuptials.

However, the soon-to-be newlyweds did not intend this as a snub: they will not be inviting any political leaders to the event, at least not on the basis of their official position. Instead, only personal friends of the couple will be inside Windsor Castle for the event on 19 May – along with 1,200 members of the public.

A statement from Buckingham Palace explains that Harry and Markle want “their wedding day to be shaped to allow members of the public to feel part of the celebrations”. The couple have therefore asked Lord Lieutenants to select over a thousand people, young and old, who have shown examples of strong leadership, or particularly served their communities.

Among the list are some seriously inspiring women and girls, who have shown strength in the face of adversity, survived trauma only to use their experiences for good and started their own charities.
