U.S. State Department lifts warning to African Americans about 'racist' Spaniards... just as Michelle Obama jets into Marbella

The Obama administration faced an embarrassing diplomatic blunder today after it was forced to pull a warning about racism in Spain - just as the First Lady arrived in the country for a summer holiday.

She is on a four-day visit and will be staying at the five-star Villa Padierna, rated as one of the world's top 30 hotels, with 40 friends. The party has reserved 60 rooms.

It's good to be Queen.
