The topic of mental health is a cause close to Harry's heart, who recently spoke out about the impact of the death of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, in a car crash in Paris 20 years ago.

In a statement Kensington Palace tweeted: "Prince Harry hosted former US President Barack Obama at Kensington Palace today.

"They discussed support for veterans, mental health, conservation, empowering young people and the work of their respective founders.

"Barack Obama also offered his condolences to the victims of the Manchester attack and those recovering from injures."

The meeting where they discussed the atrocity of the suicide bombing in Manchester last week followed a visit to Scotland by Mr Obama on Friday.

There he enjoyed a game of golf in St Andrews before attending a private charity dinner in Edinburgh.

The two men developed a friendly rivalry in the run-up to Harry's Invictus Games for wounded servicemen last year.

The former president challenged the Prince to get the Queen involved in their competition about whether the US or UK would triumph in the contest.

Prince Harry also met Mr Obama during his visit to the UK along with First Lady Michelle in 2016, where they had dinner with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Princes William and Harry have previously opened up about their mother’s death saying it “uniquely bonded” them – even though the brothers did not talk enough about it for years.

Harry, 32, admitted he though there was no point “bringing up something that’s only going to make you sad” after Princess Diana was killed in a car crash in 1997.

Obama also met up with former prime minister David Cameron, who tweeted a picture of them together with the caption: "Great to catch up with my good friend today".
