P. Diddy is desperate to hang out with Britain's Prince Harry this summer.

The rapper met the 27-year-old royal in 2007, while at the Concert for Diana in honour of Harry's late mother the Princess of Wales.

Diddy is back in the UK later this year as he is performing a series of shows in London. He is already planning to meet up with the flame-haired prince as he knows Harry will show him a good time.

"I really can't wait to get to the UK as London is one of my favourite cities. I'm also hoping I'll get to catch up with Prince Harry while I'm there. He's such a cool guy and it's about time we hung out," he told British newspaper The Sun.

Diddy already has big plans for his royal night out. Harry is renowned for visiting posh nightclubs in the UK capital, and the rapper hopes to accompany him on one of his jaunts.

"I need him to take me to some of those wild Mayfair clubs!" he laughed.

Diddy took to the stage at the Concert for Diana, which was staged to mark a decade since her death in Paris. He performed his famous track I'll Be Missing You and dedicated it to the late princess.

"Ten years ago, Princess Diana went to a better place," he said. "Today we celebrate her life and I dedicate this song to her."

Harry is known as a fan of hip-hop music. When his brother Prince William announced his engagement to Kate Middleton, Harry reportedly tried to arrange for Snoop Dogg to play at their celebratory party.

Snoop responded by penning a track called Wet to be played at William's bachelor party, although it included rather risqu lyrics.
