It didn’t take long for “H” to dish out a response to FLOTUS and POTUS. Harry artfully enlists his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, to top the leader of the free world.
Unfortunately for you @FLOTUS and @POTUS I wasn’t alone when you sent me that video - H.https://t.co/sjfSQvkzb6

Many British news sources are naming the royals as the winners of the Twitter battle. Yet they didn’t anticipate Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau getting in on the action.
Three days after the Brits and the Americans, Trudeau tweeted a video of Canada “bringing it.”
Dear @POTUS, @FLOTUS and @KensingtonRoyal - did someone say “bring it?” Canada’s ready for @InvictusOrlando.https://t.co/TxBAMPvTYs

The Canadians literally drop microphones in the May 2 upload. Canada being a bilingual country, there is a French version as well.
Though slightly awkward, the sight of the Canadian prime minister doing push-ups along side members Canada’s 2016 Invictus Team most definitely brings it.
Canada’s pump-up video came just hours before the announcement that Toronto will host the 2017 Invictus Games.
While the exchange between the heads of states was certainly staged, their promotion of the 2016 Invictus Games was delightful nonetheless.
The Invictus games is an international multi-sport event created by Prince Harry for sick and injured armed services personnel and veterans.
While the first Invictus Games—September 2014—was held in London, the 2016 edition will occur in Orlando, Fla., from May 8 to 12.
