Prince Harry explains how he got the Queen to do Invictus Games video - BBC News

Prince Harry reveals to BBC News how he asked the Queen to get involved in the Invictus Games video after being challenged by the Obamas. He also told Andrew Marr about how his experiences while serving in Afghanistan - and the injuries that he witnessed fellow soldiers endure - were a "turning point" in his life.
But he played down comparisons between his charity and campaigning work and that of his late mother, Princess Diana.
He also spoke about the intrusion into his private life is "incessant". "Everyone has a right to privacy...Sadly, that line between public and private life is almost non-existent any
more."

"She's dragging the president into that whole affair so I'm bringing me granny" 😂🥰

This is my favorite video with Prince Harry and his granny, it's the "oh really, please" and the boom that gets it for me, they are both adorable in this video!💃😀

I really enjoyed the Queen's reaction. It was hilarious.

I’m American but my “boom” goes to Harry!! Priceless

[juliebarnes]

He is doing this on his own, nothing about his mum. He has found his way in life. leave him alone

This is the first time I have heard Prince Harry, the adult, speak. He is so down to earth and charismatic. It's like a friend talking to you. His mother's son. Great job Harry!

[therealuktarget]

Harry is an unbelievably down to earth and balanced man. The more I listen to him the more he impresses me. Absolute gem

The part at 02:25 made me weep. Maybe it's just because as a former soldier I understand his feelings of leaving his team behind, but I think the mental image of him having those feeling amidst 3 British soldiers in induced comas on the helicopter was gut wrenching. God bless them all.

This guy is an amazing man, son, grandson, and representative... Thank you for the Invictus Games Prince Harry!
Go Australia!

Prince Harry has natural speaking skills. You can't teach people that, some people are born with it. If he were not a royal he would still be the kind of person who could be a journalist or politician or something. You could easily see him with training commentating on sports or being a radio host. The royal family doesn't need to have people like that in its ranks, but it's very lucky when one comes along. He is by far the best and most natural communicator in the royal family, probably the best in the ~100 years since film and sound recording were available.

The "Oh really, please" kills me every time I hear it!!!

[abbye]

He is handsome! Such a nice guy. Both he and his brother are incredibly handsome, funny and intelligent. England is lucky to have them as their representatives!

[northyippie]

That was funny! 'Loved that the Queen, Mr and Mrs Obama participated in promoting Invictus Games. As the English would say, "Brilliant!".

[Hustwick]

How can 59 people dislike this? ... He's a brilliant member of our Royal Family that is trying to make a very positive difference.

[nthernstar]

He can't possibly be more likeable.

[piaxno]

He is such a fine guy!
I mean, even if some of you don't support the monarchy, you have to be aware of the fact that he was born into his position. And he makes the best of it by setting the spotlight on remarkable projects like Invictus or other charities.
He could be a royal doing nothing but living the high at the expense of taxes, but he's not. Same with William and Cathrine. Especially the young royals do a great job.

Harry and William don't talk with pound coins in their mouths. I like that about them. Even Kate annoys me with her accent sometimes. Harry is just a normal English lad like

[foolforfuller]

Prince Harry is my favorite member of The Royal Family, indeed...

[adelezierler]

It certainly is not an easy task, to draw the line as a member of the Royal Family.  Prince Harry says it so eloquently, what role he is in, and what he has to expect.  It seems to me he really understands, he will be  hunted & criticized relentlessly.  I guess it is a price you  pay when you are the grandson of  Elisabeth,  Queen of England. The way I see him, is a kind and caring and adaptable individual,  and someone with an intuition beyond.

If he and Ms. Markle have truly found love with each other, I hope they can live their life without being harassed. Media please leave them alone.
