Mrs. Obama chose a pale blue silk dress with a floral print by the American designer Barbara Tfank, according to The Guardian, which she paired with a pink bolero. The Duchess of Cambridge went for a more modern look - a tan sheath by British retailer Reiss, which is available in stores for £175 (about $280).
Mr. Obama and the first lady, who are on a four-country tour of Europe, were also greeted by the queen, Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge recently returned from their secluded 10-day honeymoon in the Seychelles. Next on their royal agenda is the official celebration of the queen's birthday on June 11 (Queen Elizabeth II turned 85 in April) and the June 12 celebration ofPrince Philip's 90th birthday.
They will also be heading to Canada in early July for their first official overseas trip as husband and wife. Before flying home, they will make a brief visit to California.
