Harry will be joined by the First Lady at the sporting spectacle for injured, wounded and sick servicemen and women and veterans, and in an interview said spectators would be taken on an “emotional rollercoaster”.

But after watching the video on Harry’s cellphone, the Queen, clearly less than amused, smiles and says: “Oh, really”.

The video starts with Harry and the queen looking at an Invictus brochure when they get a video phone message from Mrs. Obama.

President Obama, standing next to her, says: “Careful what you wish for!” before a serviceman behind him says “Boom!” as others pull faces.

This year’s competition is taking place in Orlando, Florida on May 8.

A member of the royal family is on their way to Toronto on Monday to help kick off the Invictus Games.

Prince Harry initially replied from the official Kensington Palace account with a tweet, stating: ‘Wow @FLOTUS and @POTUS, some @weareinvictus fighting talk there!

As the Queen and Prince Harry win round one, The President is yet to respond.

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.

Prince Harry recently announced that the Invictus story will continue and that there will be a third Invictus Games in Toronto, Canada in September 2017. It is then that a playful banter began between U.S. President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle and Harry.
