Prince George meets the Obamas in bathrobe and pajamas

It was way past his bedtime, but Prince George did his royal duties on April 22 and shook hands with US President Barack Obama. The young prince was allowed to stay up later than usual to meet the Obamas, and spent about 15 minutes with them.

Prince George met with the head of state dressed in his PJs and a bathrobe, prompting humorous responses in social media.

"The Late, Late Show" host James Corden was quick to point out how cool the young royal is:

Daily Beast editor Nico Hines also applauded the "power move":

President Obama flew to Queen Elizabeth's castle on Friday to wish happy birthday to the world's oldest monarch a day after she turned 90. 

The Obamas later had dinner with a younger generation of royals, the queen's grandson Prince William, his wife Kate and his brother Prince Harry, at Kensington Palace in London. — Aya Tantiangco with reports from Reuters.
