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 and a group of his friends had asked to meet the rapper at the outdoor festival, at which he also is said to have donned a monkey costume to dance onstage with dance group Basement Jaxx.Dizzee, real name Dylan Mills, added Harry was more "rock 'n' roll" than most royals and suited the backstage area of the event because he is "a naughty boy" whose pals are "wilder" than Dizzee's.The rapper shot to fame aged 18 when his debut record 'Boy In Da Corner' - which includes tracks about teenage pregnancy and drugs - was awarded the 2003 Mercury Music Prize.In the week the album hit stores, Dizzee was stabbed six times in Ayia Napa, a resort in Cyprus.
