A playful twitter battle is being waged between Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Prince Harry and US President Barack Obama and wife Michelle in the lead-up to the second Invictus Games, which honours wounded soldiers.

The Invictus Games are an global sporting event for injured soldiers and veterans that was founded by Prince Harry after he spent time serving in the British Army.

Also, can we just admire this video. Prince Harry had been working as a forward air controller (FAC) and was responsible for coordinating air support and calling in air strikes on Taliban positions in the area.
“The Invictus Games will allow us… to pause and give you some of the applause”, he added.
The good-looking men addressed a room full of Canadian servicemen and servicewomen on Monday.
With Canada being announced as the venue for the 2017 edition of the Invictus Games, Trudeau has jumped in what can be termed as the most high-profile banter the world has ever witnessed.
The very first games took place in London, England, in 2014. “But we know we aren’t really invincible, and for some of us it becomes obvious in an instance”.
Prince Harry will also attend a sledge hockey game, along with Trudeau, at Ryerson University’s Mattamy Athletic Centre. “But I don’t do things because I feel as though my mother would want me to do them”, he said. After attending the Warrior Games in Colorado in 2013, Prince Harry was inspired to bring the event to an worldwide audience, believing the power of sport could help participants physically, psychologically and socially.
He will also have a private afternoon meeting with Ontario Lt. -Gov. Elizabeth Dowdeswell at Queen’s Park.
Harry is an ambassador for the Invictus Games, which uses rehabilitative sports to help wounded, injured and sick service people.
He tells PEOPLE in this week’s exclusive cover story that children often don’t believe he is a real-life prince because he doesn’t always look the part. He wanted to get in on the fun.
