Will the emm effs who emailed me that the Obamas were not invited to the Royal Wedding because...........................Mr. Obama didn’t bow properly to the Queen and Mrs. Obama actually had the temerity to touch the Queen , explain how, after only 2 or 3 months has passed that the Obamas are not only sleeping at the palace [a rare gesture and in the same bedroom suite the newly weds spent their first night], but the a State Banquet is being hosted by the Queen in honour of the Obamas visit?

    LONDON — President Obama was welcomed to Britain by Queen Elizabeth II on Tuesday with full pomp and ceremony at Buckingham Palace, as the Scots Guards’ band played the “The Star-Spangled Banner” and the 41 booms of a royal salute resounded across the palace gardens.

      The ceremony inaugurated a two-day state visit by the American president, rich in pageantry but shadowed by concerns over the stalemate in Libya, the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan and deepening tensions between the Israelis and Palestinians. 
    The queen and Mr. Obama emerged on to the west terrace of the palace just after 12:30, under a bright sky with a brisk wind that ruffled the bearskin hats on the heads of the honor guard. The first lady, Michelle Obama, walked with Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. 

    After the playing of the American national anthem, Mr. Obama and Prince Philip reviewed the Scots Guard, while the queen and Mrs. Obama watched from the terrace, putting their heads together to chat. 

    In a rare gesture, the queen has invited the Obamas to stay at Buckingham Palace while in London and a palace official told reporters that she gave them a tour of their six-room suite, used by Prince William and Kate Middleton, now known as the Duchess of Cambridge, on the night of the wedding.
