LONDON: Britain´s Queen Elizabeth has appeared with U.S. President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle in a light-hearted video to promote a sporting event for injured British, American and allied military personnel.
Prince Harry, the queen´s grandson, launched the first of the Invictus games in London in 2014 and the second will take place in Orlando, Florida between May 8 and May 12, featuring athletics, cycling, swimming, volleyball and other sports.
The video shows Harry and his grandmother receiving a video message from the Obamas on a smart phone, in which they promise strong U.S. sporting competition. Elizabeth, 90, responds by saying "Oh really, please.” Harry says "Boom" and imitates a gesture made by a U.S. serviceman shown in the background of the Obamas´ message.
The Obamas visited the Queen and her husband Prince Philip at Windsor Castle last week during a state visit to Britain and also dined with Harry and his elder brother Prince William.
Elizabeth, the world´s oldest monarch, previously appeared in a video to promote the 2012 London Olympics.
