One does enjoy a good put down, doesn’t one?

Usually the royals are known for having a proverbial stick up their a*ses. But not this year. Since the arrival of little Prince George, the monarchy has been acting super chill.

This week, in unexpected fashion, her majesty Queen Elizabeth sat down with Prince Harry to record a video challenge to Barack and Michelle Obama – and the American people – for the upcoming Invictus Games.

In the hilarious footage, Prince Harry and Queen Lizzy are seen sitting side by side on a sofa in Buckingham Palace, then the prince gets a call from Michelle Obama. We’ll let you see what happens next.

The Invictus Games were created by Prince Harry himself in a bid to aid 400 wounded or sick servicemen and women from 13 countries across the world compete in adaptive sports.
