The Obamas have started a Twitter feud with England's royal family. OK, so it's not a real fight...but it's still fun. Who doesn't like a little trash talk?

"Hey, Prince Harry," Michelle Obama says in a video posted to her Twitter account Friday. "Remember when you told us to bring it at the Invictus Games?" President Barack Obama, who is standing next to her, then says, "Careful what you wish for."


The Invictus Games website describes the games as an "international sporting event for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women." Prince Harry launched the first Invictus Games in 2014, and this year's competition will take place in Orlando, Florida, from May 8 to 12.

Of course, Prince Harry had to respond. But how do you top the president and first lady? With a queen of course.
