Queen Elizabeth II gave Mr Obama a red leather-bound volume entitled A Selection of Papers From the Royal Archives 1834-1897, signed photos of herself to several senior White House aides, and a brooch with gold leaves and coral flowers to First Lady Michelle Obama.
The court papers state she was interviewed in August 2011 for selection to the panel of candidates for the council elections but received feedback saying that some of the answers to the questions were "unsatisfactory".
