The Obamas share fighting words with Prince Harry in anticipation of the 2016 Invictus Games for wounded veterans.
The queen, bemused by the Americans, says, “Oh really?”
The video shows Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Harry taking a look at the program of participating athletes when Prince Harry’s phone starts buzzing to the tune of “Hail to the Chief”.
In the video, he responds with his own grin to camera and another transatlantic mic drop that might be a first for both Buckingham Palace and the special relationship.
“Careful what you wish for”, the president says, as military officers stand with mock menace on their faces.
Fortunately for the young royal, he’d already enlisted the help of his nan, who was on hand to engage in some serious smack talk! And might we say, we love the idea that Prince Harry and Michelle Obama are texting buddies. So.
The Invictus Games website describes the games as an “international sporting event for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women”.
