THE GUARDIAN: The glittering royal wedding of Prince William and new wife Kate left America mesmerised, President Barack Obama has told the Prince of Wales.
The US leader said many Americans watched the nuptials, which attracted an estimated worldwide television audience of two billion last week.
The comments came when the heir to the throne sat down for informal discussions in the famous Oval Office of the White House with Mr Obama.
The president described how he was impressed by William and Kate's handling of the pressure of the big day, and joked with Charles how he could not have coped with such a situation himself - he had just 300 guests at his wedding to Michelle.
Mr Obama and his wife were not present at the Westminster Abbey ceremony but his comments suggested he watched some of the event. » | Press Association | Thursday, May 05, 2011
