Sir Elton John has said he feels particularly fond of the Duke of Sussex because he reminds him of the royal’s late mother, Princess Diana, with whom the musician was close friends.

“We’ve worked together on numerous occasions, been to the International Aids Conference together, and while we’re not in each other’s back pockets, I have a certain feeling for him because he reminded me so much of Diana,” the “Tiny Dancer” singer told British GQ.

“I love the fact that he would walk into a room and disarm people straight away, which in all my life I’ve only seen about two or three people able to do. One was Bill Clinton, one was Princess Diana and the other is Harry.”
