Dizzee Rascal: 'I Nearly Punched Prince Harry When We Met'

Dizzee Rascal has revealed that he met Prince Harry at Wireless Festival last month and nearly punched the royal in the face.

The rapper says he was backstage when the 24-year-old Prince came in and greeted him with boxing moves and street handshakes.

Perplexed by Prince Harry's antics, Dizzee told the Daily Mail: “I never saw that one coming. Prince Harry came in and was joking around and being a bit cheeky, so I told him, 'If you weren't royalty I would've punched you in the face by now', and he seemed to like that.”

Harry is reportedly a huge fan of the chart-topper and personally requested to meet him at the London festival.
