What do you get the royal child that has everything? If you're First Lady Michelle Obama, you bring American-made items that can be passed down for generations.
During her visit to Kensington Palace on Tuesday for tea with Prince Harry, Obama came with gifts for Prince George, 23 months, and Princess Charlotte, 6 weeks. For Prince George, she selected a red Berlin Flyer P-Wee Wagon, while Princess Charlotte received an Amish rocking chair and personalized Alpaca baby blanket, the U.S. Embassy in London announced Wednesday. The Embassy did not say if Obama gave the children their gifts personally, or dropped them off with Uncle Harry.
