Britain's Prince Harry tried to "bribe" Dynamo into telling him his secrets.
The 29-year-old royal is a big fan of the magician and was desperate to find out how he pulls off illusions such as levitating people and appearing to walk across the River Thames.
Dynamo - whose real name is Steven Frayne - told the Daily Star newspaper: "Harry is very cool. He came to a performance I did at The Olympics. He was trying to get my secrets by trying to bribe me with the Crown Jewels."
Dynamo has a huge celebrity fanbase and the likes of Coldplay and One Direction appear in the new series of his show 'Magician Impossible', and the illusionist claims he "can't get away" from the 'Little Things' hitmakers.
He said: "They are scallywags. They accosted me at a Tinie Tempah concert backstage four years ago and I didn't have a clue who they were. They were like, 'Dynamo, do some magic for us.' So I did.
"I can't get away from them. So when they asked me to come and do a 1D Day, I tried to claim it as 1Dynamo day."
He also admitted the next series of the programme will be the last.
He said: "It's a good time to come to a close. It is good to leave your audience wanting more."
Prince Harry has introduced the British Invictus team with a heartfelt speech.
The 29-year-old royal took to the stage at Potters Field Park in Tower Bridge, London, to welcome and encourage the competitors who are set to play in the Paralympic-style sporting competition for wounded servicemen and women next month.
He said: "These men and women here have achieved so much already but by being selected for this team is another significant milestone in their life beyond injury.
"Everyone here behind me will be competing for themselves, but also for their mates. Also the many doctors, nurses, physios and friends who have played a part in the rehabilitation of these and many other remarkable men and women."
According to Hello! magazine, Prince Harry then wished the teams - who have just four weeks left to complete their training - the best of luck in the competition and asked them to "bring back as many medals as possible."
The team consists of both veterans and current members of the armed forces, who will compete in the games - held between 10 and 14 september at various venues around London - against 14 nations.
Spain's King Felipe and Queen Letizia have visited a UNESCO world heritage site with their daughters.
The couple - who have been enjoying a well-earned holiday on the island of Majorca - visited the beautiful Serra de Tramuntana mountain range with their daughters Princess Leonor, eight, and Princess Sofia, seven.
The trip is believed to have made quite an impact on the recently-crowned King, who was returning to the island for the first time since his coronation.
According to Hello! magazine, Felipe described the area as a "piece of heaven on Earth".
The royal family were then taught the cultural and physical significance of the landscape and the types of rock formation.
They were also shown a map of the areas affected by fires that consumed the region last summer, after which the King and Queen greeted volunteers helping with the reforestation of the damaged area.
Felipe, Letizia and their daughters arrived in Majorca last week and are due to leave in mid-August.
It is thought that the trip will be the last time the family will be making official public visits while on holiday together.
Jordan's Princess Haya is stepping down as president of the International Equestrian Federation (IEF).
The princess - who is married to Sheikh Mohammed Al Maktoum - says deciding not to seek a third four-year term as head of the governing body has been the "hardest decision" of her life, but she feels raising her family and her humanitarian work for Gaza must come first.
She said: "The factors that have led to my decision are, for me, impossible to ignore. I committed to a two-term limit, and that commitment still weighs heavily on me."
While Haya described the sports community as "family", the princess - whose mother was Palestinian" - pointed out that the people of the Middle East "are also my people and my family".
During her stint as president, in the last two years alone Haya directly brokered almost £150 million in commercial sponsorship and provided the FEI's new office building in Lausanne, Switzerland with 75 permanent staff members.
Her departure in December will also herald the end of her International Olympic Committee membership, and as it doesn't pass to her successor, she set up an FEI-Olympic liaison council earlier this year.
So far, only Swiss financier Pierre Genecand was in the running to take over as president, and others now have only three weeks to declare and less than four months to campaign.
A piece of Britain's Queen Victoria's wedding cake has gone on public display.
The sweet treat - part of a 300lb cake that was served when the monarch married Prince Albert in 1840 - forms part of the 'Famous and Infamous' exhibition at London auction house Christie's, and can be seen until September 2.
The cake is displayed in an engraved presentation box and was loaned by David Gainsborough Roberts.
The retired banker is also allowing the auctioneers to display other memorabilia he owns, including many costumes worn by Marilyn Monroe, a section of the flag Lord Nelson died on and a set of keys belonging to a member of the crew who survived the Titanic.
He said: "I hope all you fellow collectors enjoy this small selection of highlights from my collection."
Also on display are the desert robes and Arab headdress worn by T.E. Lawrence, a set of cufflinks belonging to John Lennon, and a stetson once owned by Western star John Wayne.
Admission to the exhibition is free.
Britain's Prince Charles has paid tribute to "remarkable" Robin Williams.
The 65-year-old prince had met the 'Hook' star - who was found hanged on Monday (11.08.14) - several times and spoke of his "wonderfully frenetic humour" and admitted he will miss the actor's "irreplaceable contribution to life".
In a statement published on his official website, Charles said: "He was a remarkable man, whose wonderfully frenetic humour brought a special kind of laughter into people's lives.
"I greatly enjoyed meeting him on several occasions and his irreplaceable contribution to life will be greatly missed by countless people, including myself."
In November 2008, making his first UK performance for 25 years, Robin performed at a show titled 'We Are Most Amused' in aid of Charles' youth charity The Prince's Trust, and the prince, his wife Duchess Camilla, and youngest son Prince Harry all attended the gig, which also saw performances from the likes of John Cleese and Joan Rivers.
Six months later, Charles and the 'Mrs. Doubtfire' star teamed up again alongside the prince's sons, Harry and Prince William, Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Pele, and the Dalai Lama, for an online film for The Prince of Wales's Rainforests Project.
A photographer commissioned to take pictures of a new exhibition at Buckingham Palace felt "great privilege" to be involved.
Ben Murphy was honoured to photograph the Royal Childhood display - which looks back at nine generations of princes and princesses at play - at Queen Elizabeth's official residence and wanted to do his best to reflect the "historical significance" of the items on display.
He said: "I knew this was a special and important commission. It was a great privilege to be given access to this extraordinary place and I felt that I had to produce work that reflected the historical significance of the building and the garments, objects, toys and ephemera assembled for the exhibition. I was acutely aware of the symbolism and significances of every object and every space."
Ben was thankful for the natural light of the stunning palace and felt it would "betray the integrity" of the building if he were to add lighting of his own.
He added to the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "I always work with natural or available light. This is part of my process and important in the creation of my photographic identity. The atmosphere and stillness created by natural light is critical to my work and to conveying a true sense of place as I see it.
"Buckingham Palace, like many great houses, was designed to make effective use of natural light. In their grand rooms, daylight becomes an integral and beautiful part of the experience of being in those spaces. It would betray the integrity of the place to try to impose my own artificial light. There are exceptions of course where available light is artificial and unavoidable however I invariably prefer the painterly quality of diffused daylight."
Britain's Prince Harry almost ran into Cressida Bonas at the weekend.
The 29-year-old prince and his ex-girlfriend - who he split from in April - were both among the revellers at the Wilderness Festival in Cornbury Park, Oxfordshire over the weekend but didn't speak, despite standing close to one another.
According to one insider, Harry - who arrived on site late at night wearing a cap and hoody - stood around the Pandemonium Stage drinking with pals, while Cressida danced with her friends just a short distance away.
One festivalgoer told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "So close and yet so far apart.
"They didn't say a word, but they may not have seen each other."
It was recently claimed Cressida, 25, ended her relationship with the prince because she feared her acting ambitions would be "trampled" by royal life.
A source said: "She sees her future as an actress and she felt her ambitions would have been trampled by the royal machine. The decision not to continue the relationship came from her, not Harry.
"The time had come for someone to make the break, and she could not see a long-term future with him."
Britain's Princes William and Harry and Duchess Catherine are expected to fly to Italy for a friend's wedding next month.
