		</div><p>Prince William was treated to a very special rendition of 1984 hit Hello – not only was it sung by Lionel Ritchie himself, but it was apparently his mother Princess Diana’s favourite song.<br />
The Duke of Cambridge was serenaded by the US singer at a charity event at Alexandra Palace in north London on Thursday evening.</p>

<p>Lionel, 65, said: “Many years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Princess Diana and tonight we have Prince William here.<br />
“I must tell you it is a pleasure to be with all of you but especially this gentleman, because his mother came to me…and she said ‘my favourite song is Hello’.<br />
“So I thought tonight the dedication is to you, my friend.”</p>

<p>Prince William and Lionel were VIP guests at a special dinner to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Jewish Care – a charity which provides health and social care to support the UK’s Jewish community.</p>
<p>Ritchie met William prior to going on stage and reminded him that he gave him his first ever music tour jacket at a concert in the 1980s.<br />
The soul star said: “His mother and I were very close friends.<br />
“I’m very proud of him as a father. I congratulated him on that.</p>
<p>“Back on my All Night Long/Dancing On The Ceiling tour I gave them – he and his brother – their first tour jackets.<br />
“The joke with that was how long will they be able to wear them and I said, ‘Not long’.<br />
“(Tonight) I said ‘Of course you’re six feet whatever now, way out of those jackets’.”</p>
