They commemorated the day with heartfelt Instagram posts, sharing their love and appreciation for each other. Michelle posted a candid photo of the couple, perhaps from a vacation, and expressed her enduring love for her husband, Barack.
Her followers flooded the comments section with warm wishes and admiration for the couple's love story. Barack also shared a romantic tribute on his own Instagram account, describing Michelle as brilliant, kind, funny, and beautiful.
The Obamas hosted a cozy celebration at their home, attended by several notable guests, including Queen Beyoncé, Oprah, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Ava Longoria. However, Meghan and Harry were conspicuously absent from the guest list, despite Meghan's claims of a close relationship with the Obama family.
This exclusion from the wedding anniversary party follows a previous snub when Meghan and Harry were not invited to Barack Obama's 60th birthday celebration. Michelle Obama's recent comments about the importance of family and the need for forgiveness and resolution in family matters have raised eyebrows, with some seeing them as thinly veiled remarks aimed at Meghan and Harry.
Royal expert Angela Levan suggests that the Obamas may be cautious about appearing too friendly with Meghan and Harry due to concerns about public perception and out of respect for Queen Elizabeth. Despite this, it's worth noting that Barack Obama has always expressed admiration and warmth towards the Queen, even comparing her to his own grandmother in the past.
