The Queen and Prince Harry’s hilarious comeback to Barack Obama’s Invictus Games challenge
BRING it on. Prince Harry enlisted his grandmother Queen Elizabeth to smack down the Obamas over the Invictus Games in a hilarious video.
THE Queen has slapped down US President Barack Obama in a hilarious video shared on Twitter.
The 40-second film clip, sent out by Kensington Palace on Friday, shows First Lady Michelle Obama telling the Queen and Prince Harry the Americans are ready to take on the Brits in the Invictus Games.
The playful tiff sees Mrs Obama send Prince Harry a video message as she sits on the sofa with his grandmother in Windsor Castle, The Sun reports.
Unfortunately for you @FLOTUS and @POTUS I wasn't alone when you sent me that video ð - H.https://t.co/sjfSQvkzb6

Mrs Obama says: “Hey Prince Harry, remember when you told us to ‘bring it’ at the Invictus games ...”.
Her husband adds: “Careful what you wish for.”
But the pair are quickly put in their place when Her Majesty says: “Oh really? Please.”
Clearly impressed by his grandma’s feisty response, Prince Harry shouts “BOOM.”
The royal spoof video, which was filmed at Windsor Castle on Wednesday, is thought to have been planned weeks ago.

It follows last week’s dinner with the Obamas who joined Prince Harry and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at Kensington Palace on their whirlwind trip to the UK.
The video is set to rival the Queen’s last cameo for the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony when she pretended to jump out of a helicopter with James Bond.
The Invictus Games were first staged in 2014 in London.
The event for injured, sick or wounded military personnel and veterans aims to highlight how sport helps the recovery of servicemen and women. This year’s competition is being held in Orlando, Florida on May 8.
