Britain’s Princes William and Harry have personally asked Take That to join the sensational line-up for the Princess Diana tribute concert.
The princes reportedly approached the reunited boy band because they had heard how much the group thought of the princess.
Take That join a host of stars previously announced including Sir Elton John, Joss Stone, Bryan Ferry, Duran Duran and Pharrell Williams, taking to the stage for this summer’s Concert For Diana.
William and Harry personally approved all the acts for the show at London’s Wembley Stadium on July 1 - which would have been Diana’s 46th birthday.
A concert insider said: ‘They put an immense amount of effort into the concert.
‘They’ve personally selected acts they knew their mother loved in her lifetime and some newer one they felt she’d have appreciated.
‘It’s a fantastic bill and a testament to their powers of persuasion that so many stars have agreed to take part.’ Other performers added to the bill include Kanye West, James Blunt, Meatloaf, Bryan Adams and one of Diana’s favourites Rod Stewart.
Organisers are also trying to get Dire Straits, another band favoured by the princess, and the Spice Girls, to reunite for the concert.
Robbie Williams and George Michael, who both attended Diana’s funeral in 1997, have also been invited to the event, which marks the 10th anniversary of the princess’ death.
Money raised from the sell-out event will go to several charities, including the Diana Memorial Fund.
