Barack and Michelle Obama cap off their post-presidency break on beach with Sir Richard Branson
Obama stuck his baseball cap on backwards as they had a drink on his paradise isle
FORMER president Barack Obama has been spotted relaxing with Brit mogul Sir Richard Branson on his luxury Necker Island.
Obama, 55, who had encouraged protesters to take to the streets to demonstrate against Donald Trump this week, stuck his baseball cap on backwards as they had a drink on his paradise isle.
The carefree former leader of the free world was seen enjoying lunch with the Virgin businessman while his wife Michelle, 53, chatted to Branson’s daughter Holly, 35.
They travelled last week from Palm Springs in California, where they had spent the first part of their holiday as a guest of the Spanish ambassador.
Obama was snapped wearing dark shades and a flipped-back baseball cap.
