Ellie Goulding to is set to perform at Prince Harry's birthday bash, according to a report
The event, which is being staged at Clarence House tonight (17.09.14), comes three days after the blonde singer starred at the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games in London, which the flame-haired royal helped to organise, at which she was seen giving the prince a big hug.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Kate knows Harry is a big fan of Ellie and wanted her to be part of the evening. It's a huge compliment for her, especially because she is such a fan of Harry and all the work he does.
"Ellie said yes straight away and has agreed to perform whatever Harry fancies on the night.
"It's going to be a really intimate acoustic set. Harry will love it."
The event was reportedly delayed because Duchess Catherine - formerly known as Kate Middleton before her marriage to Harry's brother Prince William - is currently suffering from severe morning sickness during her second pregnancy.
Speaking at the Invictus Games last weekend, Harry said he intended to celebrate his landmark birthday by enjoying a beer.
He explained: "I'll be chuffed to bits when I'm having a beer with [war veteran] Dave Henson. We're really looking forward to being 30, both feeling quite old about it."
