The British Empire Strikes Back: Obamas Taunts Prince Harry, Who One-Ups Them with Message from the Queen!

Prince Harry held the first Games in London in 2014. A vet himself, Harry founded the tournament as a way to help rehabilitate wounded soldiers through, as Brits call it, "sport." This May, the second Games are swinging by Orlando ... and America took notice!

Friday morning, Michelle Obama tweeted a video of herself and her hubby, President of the United States Barack Obama, standing arms folded in front of three people in military uniform.

"Hey, Prince Harry," says Michelle, "remember when you told us to 'bring it' at the Invictus Games?"

POTUS points to the camera. "Careful what you wish for," he warns.

Behind him, the serviceman in the middle mimes a slam dunk and says "Boom!" as his compatriots make faces on either side of him.

But as they did in 1812, the British saw our victory, decided they were having none of it, and struck back.

Less than two hours after Michelle sent out her message, Kensington Palace tweeted, "Unfortunately for you @FLOTUS and @POTUS I wasn't alone when you sent me that video - H."

Attached to that is a video of H. sitting in a lavish drawing room next to Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, a.k.a. Granny.

Harry's showing his grandma some pics of the previous Invictus Games when his phone buzzes. "Oh," says Harry, "from Michelle. How very amusing. Shall we watch it together?"

"Yes," says Her Majesty.

But when they watch Michelle's video, Liz can't suppress a genuine smirk from spreading across her face. "Oh, really," she scoffs, "please."

Harry grins at the camera, mimes a slam dunk of his own, and says, "Boom."
