LONDON -- Prince Harry and the Obamas have staged an adorable mic drop fight on Twitter over the Invictus Games to be held next week in Orlando, Florida. 

It started with Michelle tweeting a video to the official account of Kensington Palace. Michelle says: "Hey Prince Harry remember when you told us to bring it at the Invictus Game?"

"Careful what you wish for," the President adds, before an uniformed aide chimes in with: "Boom".

Prince Harry, who will travel to the U.S. next week to support the UK team, replied with a tweet.

"Wow @FLOTUS and @POTUS, some @weareinvictus fighting talk there! You can dish it out, but can you take it?"



He then followed it up with a hilarious video.

In the clip, the Queen is seen sitting on the sofa in front of a fire, nodding as Prince Harry explains to her the athletes competing at the Paralympic-style games. 

Then Harry's mobile phone rings - to the tune of "Hail to the Chief" - and he plays to the Queen the Obamas' video. 


To which Her Majesty replies grinningly: "Oh really, please!" 

The fight is on!
