Princes, Elton Honor Diana
Pop goes the memorial service.
Princes William and Harry have confirmed earlier reports that they will honor Princess Diana this summer with a tribute concert designed to raise money for their late mother's favored charities and mark what would have been her 46th birthday.
The benefit concert, dubbed Concert for Diana, is due to take place on July 1, Diana's birthday, and will be followed by a memorial service on Aug. 31, the 10th anniversary of her death.
The royal brothers announced plans for the all-star concert Tuesday, offering a "flavor" of the lineup. Elton John, Duran Duran, Joss Stone, Pharell Williams, Bryan Ferry, the English National Ballet and a medley of Andrew Lloyd Webber's showtunes have all so far made the bill, though many more names have reportedly signed on.
"Loads of people coming from far away and across the ocean and things like that," William said. "We don't want to name everyone because we want to keep a surprise."
"The idea is we wanted to get artists that our mother really loved, and then artists that both Harry and I enjoy. So with that you've got a sort of something different, it's not just any old concert. If it works it will be brilliant, if it doesn't then we won't be in the country!"
"You won't see us for a very long time," Harry added.
The concert, which will be one of the first events at London's soon-to-reopen Wembley Stadium, will also be almost entirely organized by the siblings.
"We both wanted to put our stamp on it," William said. "We want it to represent exactly what our mother would have wanted; how she was and all that sort of thing.
"We wanted to have this big concert with, you know, full of energy, full of the sort of fun and happiness which I know she would have wanted. And on her birthday as well, it's got to be the best birthday present she ever had...The main purpose is to celebrate and to have fun and to remember her in a fun way."
All the profits from the event will be split between pet charities of the brothers and their late mother—William's Centrepoint, Harry's Sentebale and the Diana Memorial Fund.
"It's just a chance to sort of carry on what she left behind really," Harry said.
In addition to the star-studded concert, tickets for which go on sale online Wednesday, the siblings are organizing an Aug. 31 memorial service to commemorate the 10th anniversary of their mother's fatal Paris car crash.
"The service is going to include both sides of the family, our mother's side and our father's side—everyone is getting together," Harry said. "It should be a good occasion and lots of loud hymns, 'I Vow To Thee My Country,' all the good ones. And, no, it should be a very sort of simple and nice service."
In the meantime, a report on Diana's deadly accident, which occurred on Aug. 31, 1997, is due out Thursday, and will apparently reveal that the CIA had been bugging the princess' phones prior to her death, and that her chauffeur for the night was both drunk and speeding at the time of the accident.
