While most of us were getting our grill on this past Memorial Day weekend, two of the worlds most popular figures were also hanging out.

Prince Harry hosted world traveler and former POTUS Barack Obama at Kensington Palace on Saturday. The two were photographed together wearing nearly identical suit jackets and white collared shirts, a look Obama has perfected post-presidency.
