Barack Obama’s eldest daughter snapped kissing British beau

Couple created social media frenzy coming out in public

Barack Obama’s eldest daughter Malia Obama was captured locking lips with a special someone before the Harvard-Yale football game on Saturday, November 18.

That someone special was actually a British import Rory Farquharson, reported Daily Mail. But little did he know, he was about to create social media frenzy by kissing the former US president’s daughter.

Farquharson was head boy at one of England's most prestigious schools before deciding to continue his studies at the Ivy League university that is Harvard. He is currently in his sophomore year.

He was chosen as the Head of School at Rugby School for the school year 2015-2016. The school Principal selects the most outstanding student – socially and academically – for the role.

“The girls all thought of him as 'quite a catch',” one school insider told Daily Mail. “He was very popular.”

Rugby is one of the top schools in the United Kingdom, just a tread below the more famous Eton and Harrow. It charges more than £32,000 a year for tuition including boarding, and is most famous for giving the world the game of rugby.

Farquharson played the sport and was an extra in a rugby video that played in the Rugby World Cup Opening Ceremony in 2015, with Prince Harry also making an appearance in the clip.

The 19-year-old also represented the school at golf and was also a member of the Blue Bunsen Society, a chemistry club. The elite school was also the setting for the 19th Century novel Tom Brown's School Days – a story that graphically details the bullying which occurred in public schools at the time.

Farquharson spent the summer as an intern with the Centre for Democracy and Peace Building in Northern Ireland. But according to his Twitter account, he seems interested in following in the banking footsteps of his father, Charles Farquharson who is a chief executive and director of an investment fund management group in London.

With so much attention on his social media, people have noticed something rather peculiar; Rory currently follows Donald Trump on Twitter but not Barack Obama.

With the school year in full swing, Malia appeared to be settling in just fine at Harvard with Farquharson by her side. The former first daughter, also 19 years of age, took a gap year before starting at Harvard this fall.

Judging by the photos, Farquharson seems to be taller than her which is quite surprising as Malia is 6-foot-1 – taller than the average 5-foot-10 male.

A year ago, Obama confirmed that Malia and his younger daughter Sasha had already started dating and that he was 'pretty relaxed' about it. “They've had Secret Service. There's only so much these guys can do,” Barack joked.
