The Latest: Obamas give Queen Elizabeth II photo album

To commemorate her 90th birthday, The White House says President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama have given Queen Elizabeth II a custom photo album chronicling her visits with U.S. presidents and first ladies.

[...] the queen has met with nearly every U.S. president.

The White House says the collection of historical photos highlights the enduring close ?friendship between the United States and the United Kingdom.

Writing in The Sun newspaper, Johnson recounted a claim that a bust of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was removed from the Oval Office after Obama was elected and returned to the British Embassy.

Former Liberal Democrat leader Menzies Campbell says Johnson's comment are "an unacceptable smear," while Labour Party lawmaker Diane Abbott says that "Boris dismissing president Obama as 'half-Kenyan' reflects the worst Tea Party rhetoric."

The White House says U.S. Ambassador Matthew Barzun will host Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron for dinner Saturday at his London residence, Winfield House.

First lady Michelle Obama and Prince Philip, the queen's husband, were joining the meal.

Obama's socializing with the British royals was continuing later Friday over dinner with Prince William, his wife Kate and brother Prince Harry at Kensington Palace in London.

President Barack Obama is urging Britons to vote to stay in the European Union, saying the challenges in the world require allies to "stick together."

In an op-ed published in the Telegraph newspaper, Obama says Great Britain's presence in the EU "magnifies" Britain's influence and helps spread "British values."
