SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY'S PRIVATE SHOW FOR PRINCESS DIANAThursday May 10,2012 By Lizzie Catt with Lisa Higgins and Jack Teague (EXPRESS.CO.UK)




HUNDREDS of millions will watch him perform at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee concert at Buckingham Palace next month. But Day & Night can exclusively reveal that Sir Paul McCartney once gave a unique royal command performance for a very exclusive audience made up of Diana, Princess of Wales and her two sons.

The secret gig took place in January 1993. Macca, then 50, was filming the video for his single Biker Like An Icon at Pinewood Studios. Midway through the shoot the security team were told that an unexpected VIP was outside the set asking to come in. 

“We said it was strictly no visitors until we were told, ‘Yeah but it’s Princess Diana,'” Sir Paul’s former spokesman Geoff Baker tells Day & Night. “The Princess entered the set holding the hands of the two princes.” 

And it was Princes William and Harry – then aged 10 and eight respectively – who inspired the impromptu performance that followed.
