Sir Elton John has revealed that he and his partner, David Furnish, will be going to the Royal Wedding in April.

Prince William is marrying Kate Middleton and a host of stars have been invited to the event, including David Beckham.

Speaking to a Canadian TV channel, Elton admitted that he had been keeping his invite quiet, as he didn’t want a media circus surrounding it.

“We do have an invitation. I’ve been trying to be discreet,” he said.

Talking about the husband and wife to be, Elton revealed that he saw a lot of his late friend Princess Diana in Kate Middleton.

“[Kate] is Diana in personality. She is very discreet, she is a very beautiful girl,” he said.

“They have been together a long time and I think she has handled the pressure so much.”

Talking about the future king, William, he said, “I hope [William] becomes King at an early age. I think we need young people like him to lead.

“I think he will be a tremendous king – not that Charles won’t, but I think William will be… tremendous.”
