Britain´s Queen Elizabeth features with Obamas in light-hearted charity video

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.
