Unfortunately for you @FLOTUS and @POTUS I wasn't alone when you sent me that video ? – H.https://t.co/sjfSQvkzb6

The Invictus Games, a brainchild of Prince Harry, is an event in which wounded or sick armed forces personnel from around the globe participate in Paralympic events such as wheelchair basketball and rugby, swimming, and athletics.
The first addition of the games took place in 2014 in London, and the 2016 version is set to come stateside to Orlando next month. Considering the fact that the games will be coming to the U.S. this time around, it’s only fitting that the Brits engage in a time-honored American tradition: trash talking.
Prince Harry started it off when he told President Obama and The First Lady to “bring it” when they visited London for the Queen’s 90th birthday, and The Obamas fired back though on Michelle’s Twitter account.
Hey, @KensingtonRoyal! Are you ready for @InvictusOrlando? Game on. pic.twitter.com/S34KrEv5Is

It was the Duke who got the last laugh though, as he somehow got his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth herself to serve up perhaps the most English trash talk of all time. Her majesty responded to The FLOTUS by simply shrugging and saying “Oh really…please.” She may as well have rolled her eyes to the back of her head while she was at it.
The 2016 Invictus Games are set to take place from May 8th to May 12th at Disney’s Wide World of Sports in Orlando. No word on if her majesty plans on showing up to challenge The First Lady to a game of one-on-one.
