As for the reason of visit of President Obama and First Lady Michelle, Time noted that the president will reportedly lobby to keep the U.K. in the European Union. The source said that London Mayor Boris Johnson has given advice to the chief executive not to wade into the debate. Nonetheless, the dinner is set and everyone involved is already looking forward for it. Also, the visit is part of Obama's six-day, three country foreign trip.
The royal family and the Obamas have long shared a warm relationship with one another. The Obamas met the duke and the duchess in May 2011 when they put into execution their first royal duty as married couple.
Prince William also crossed paths with President Obama in the Oval Office in Washington DC in 2014, which was around the time their first child, Prince George, was born.
