Dizzee Rascal: I told Prince Harry I'd punch him

Rapper joked with the cheeky prince at festival

Dizzee Rascal thinks Prince Harry's crowd of friends are probably a bit wilder than his own

Dizzee Rascal has revealed how he threatened to hit Prince Harry when they met.

The royal was introduced to the rapper backstage at the Wireless Festival in Hyde Park last month.

‘Prince Harry was 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,’ Dizzee tells The Daily Telegraph.

The prince initially approached rapper Smurfie, and jokingly tried to pull some boxing moves on him.
