The prim and proper Queen Elizabeth II showed how 'cool' she is when she responded to US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama's Invictus Games challenge on Twitter.
Taking to Twitter to post their challenged video, Obama and first lady Michelle Obama issued an Invictus Games challenge to the Queen and Prince Harry, with the President joking they should 'be careful what you wish for'.

This left Prince Harry wondering on how he is 'going to top that':
Shortly after, Prince Harry posts a video on Twitter, on the official Kensington Palace page, with the Queen, where the Her Majesty responds to the president's warning with a rather whimsical 'oh, really?'.
Well played, Harry. After the recent cameo in the new Star Wars film, the Force is strong with the Prince!

What are the Invictus Games?
'The Invictus Games are an international Paralympic-style multi-sport event, created by Prince Harry, in which wounded, injured or sick armed services personnel and their associated veterans take part in sports including Wheelchair basketball, Sitting volleyball and Indoor rowing.'
This year's Invictus Games will take place on 8-12 May in Florida.
