'Boom Boom Pow' hitmaker Will.i.Am has likened Britain's Prince Harry to the fictional character Iron Man' because they're both ordinary men who live extraordinary lives.

Speaking about the royal family during the fundraiser dinner for Prince Harry's Royal Foundation, he explained that he looks up to Harry as he is very normal, but often works for charity and is also in the services:

"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."

"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."

Will.i.Am joked that he will get his tech team to build the Prince an 'Iron Man' suit: "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."
