Barack Obama's 'Private Meeting' in London Amid Royal Conspiracies Stirs Intense Reaction
Barack Obama
Barack Obama sparked quite an outcry from the public after a video of the former president arriving at the official residence of the United Kingdom's prime minister surfaced online.
Obama, who served as the 44th president across two terms from 2009 to 2017, was seen arriving at Rishi Sunak’s residence–10 Downing Street in London–on Monday, March 18, around 3 p.m. local time.
What called for the private meeting remains unknown as the reason has not yet been officially disclosed, but it likely is unrelated to all the rumors plaguing the royal family. Still, that hasn't stopped royal watchers from taking to social media with their own conspiracy theories–many of which are attempting to connect the 62-year-old former White House resident's visit with that of the drama surrounding the royals, namely Princess of Wales Kate Middleton, in what's been dubbed #KateGate.
One X (formerly Twitter) user joked, pretending to be the former president, saying "(calmly) When was the last time we saw the Princess?"

President Obama:
(calmly)
When was the last time we saw the Princess? https://t.co/imBZzuCHxk— Stefan Smith (@TheStefanSmith) March 18, 2024
A second quipped, "BREAKING: Barack Obama has arrived in the UK to find Kate Middleton."

"Not Obama flying to London to find Kate Middleton," a different social media user howled. "Let me grab the popcorn."
"Former US President Barack Obama has arrived at 10 Downing Street for a private meeting.he left No 10 after around an hour #RoyalAnnouncement," another unjustly speculated.
"Maybe President Obama can help us figure out what is going on with Kate Middleton," someone else suggested.
There were even comparisons to Idris Elba's character in Luther, "Obama just entered his #Luther era by asking the right questions at Downingstreet nr 10. #katemiddleton #idriselba #barackobama #WheresKate."
