The Voice coach Will.i.am has made a rather interesting comparison between Prince Harry and Iron Man claiming the two are “pretty similar”.

He was speaking out at the recent fundraiser dinner for Prince Harry's Royal Foundation where he said: "If you're American and you watch movies on the Royal Family historically, it seems like fantasy, but to see the human in Harry, he's a normal guy."

As well as making what Prince Harry could only take as a flattering comparison to the fictional Marvel character, Will.i.am also praised the royal for his big heart.

He continued: "He doesn't have to do charity, he doesn't have to care, he could just be wild.

"If he was a character in a movie, he would be like Iron Man – he's a dude, he's a party guy, he's a technology guy, he comes from royalty, but he's a real person.

"Prince Harry and Iron Man are pretty similar. I'm going to get my tech guys to make him a special suit so Prince Harry can fly around the world."

Will.i.am has a previous history with the royals and their charitable endeavours having donated $780,000 last year to a trust that Prince Charles set up in order to help under privileged British youths.
