Prince Harry at the Invictus Games opening ceremony

Dave Grohl was inundated with text messages from Britain's Prince Harry.

The Foo Fighters rocker has revealed that he was bombarded with messages after Coldplay's Chris Martin passed on his number to the 30-year-old royal.

Dave - who performed alongside his band mates Taylor Hawkins, Chris Shiflett, Nate Mendel and Pat Smear at the Invictus Games closing concert on September 14, 2014 - explained: "That all came about because Chris from Coldplay texted me once and said, 'Hey, is it okay if I give Prince Harry your phone number?' and I said, 'Yeah, I guess'.

"So Prince Harry texted me and said, 'I want to talk to you about the Invictus Games and he said some of the lads really love the band and he would really love us to come and play at the Invictus Games.

"And he texted me almost every day to say, like, 'Are you gonna play?', 'Are you gonna play?', 'Are you gonna play?' So I called my manager [and said], 'We've got to confirm the date, man!'"

Dave then admitted that he wasn't sure how to greet His Royal Highness.

Talking to 'The One Show' on Wednesday (12.11.14), the 'Sonic Highways' rocker said: "We didn't know how to address him, the etiquette, and so when I met him it's like, 'Hey man! What's up, dude!' and then the next person in line was, 'Your Highness' and I didn't know what to do.

"But he was great, very cool. I think he might have called me 'dude'. I can't remember. He was very cool."
