When Harry met Barack: Royal guest goes toe to toe with former American president

Prince Harry interviews former US president Barack Obama as part of his guest editorship of BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. The interview will be broadcast on 27 December after being recorded in Toronto in September during the Invictus Games. Kensington Palace said Mr Obama would share his memories of the day he left office and his hopes for his post-presidential life, including plans to cultivate the next generation of leaders through the Obama Foundation. Today tweeted a video clip showing Harry and Mr Obama warming up, with Mr Obama joking: “Do I need a British accent?”
