Boxers or briefs? Prince Harry's quickfire questions for Obama

Prince Harry quizzed former US president Barack Obama on life after leaving office and the effects of social media on society.

But the pair also had time for a quickfire round of questions at the end. Here they are in full:

Harry: White House Down or Olympus Has Fallen?
Obama: Didn’t see either of them.
Harry: You have to make a choice.
Obama: I didn’t see either, how can I make a choice?
Harry: White House Down.
Obama: Ok, I’ll take your word for it.

Harry: What do you miss most, the cinema or the bowling alley?
Obama: Cinema – we call it a movie theatre but that’s fine.

Harry: Boxers or briefs?
Obama: Sorry – we don’t answer those questions.

Harry: Lebron James or Michael Jordan?
Obama: Jordan – although I love Lebron - but I’m a Chicago guy.

Harry: Rachel or Monica?
Obama: I like Rachel.

Harry: Kim or Khloe.
Obama: This one I have to defer on.

Harry: Ok, Harry or William?
Obama: William right now.

Harry: Titanic or The Bodyguard?
Obama: Titanic.

Harry: Suits or the Good Wife?
Obama: Suits obviously.

Harry: Cigarettes or gum?
Obama: Gum now, baby.

Harry: White House or Buckingham Palace?
Obama: White House just because Buckingham Palace looks like it would take a really long time to mow. Lot of upkeep.

Harry: Queen or The Queen?
Obama: The Queen.

Harry: The Rock or Chris Rock?
Obama: That’s an interesting question. I like them both.

Harry: Slip N Slide or Electric Slide?
Obama: Electric Slide, that’s my generation.

Harry: Your last five dollars. Buy a burger or buy a lottery ticket?
Obama: Depends on how the good the burger is. But I like a good burger.
