HE has met just about every gorgeous pop star – but PRINCE CHARLES isn’t good enough for AVRIL LAVIGNE.
The Canadian rocker pulled out of meeting the Prince of Wales at Capital FM’s Party In The Park in London yesterday with just hours to spare, throwing organisers into a panic.
The pop rocker and R&B star JAMELIA were due to sit either side of Charles as he watched the end of the show in aid of the Prince’s Trust in Hyde Park.
But flustered flunkeys were told Avril would not be showing. A backstage insider told me: “Avril wasn’t keen on the idea. She wanted to get away as soon as she completed her set.
“Hasty arrangements were made for WILL YOUNG to take Avril’s place.
“The official line is that Avril had a plane to catch. But the truth is she is cripplingly shy and hates publicity stunts.”
Avril played a great set but her appearence was marred by heavy-handed treatment from her army of minders.
Substitute ... Will Young
Fans were stopped from taking pictures and photographers were barred from snapping her as she walked on stage. Avril did a brief TV interview after her set but then left.
Will was only too happy to take her place next to the prince. But he said: “I’ve no idea what I’m going to say.”
Jamelia was just as giddy with excitement saying: “I’ll probably say, ‘Chas, how’s it going?’.”
It was the first time Prince Charles has been snubbed by a pop star. But I think giving the elbow to royalty will add to Avril’s cool.
