Michelle Obama was in London to promote her best-selling autobiography 'Becoming'.
Former US first lady Michelle Obama speaks on stage of the Royal Arena in Copenhagen on April 9, 2019 during a tour to promote her memoir"Becoming".Former U.S. first lady Michelle Obama charmed thousands of Britons on Sunday, telling anecdotes about meeting the"wonderfully warm and funny" Queen Elizabeth and praising London's diversity at an event in the capital.
She had the sellout audience - many of whom had travelled hours to attend - laughing along within minutes of taking the stage, recounting the furore she caused in 2009 when she breached royal protocol by putting her arm around the queen."Yikes! Sorry guys," she joked, explaining she later learned to keep her hands clasped or behind her back to curb her natural instincts.
She said she had been touched by the queen's decision to wear a small pin badge the presidential couple had given her as a gift, and described Britain's 92-year-old monarch in glowing terms: Obama's book tour has so far taken her across North America and Scandinavia. After London, she will go to Paris and Amsterdam.Last month, the book's German publisher said 'Becoming' could become the biggest-selling autobiography ever.
