Prince William meets Israel's Eurovision winner Netta
Israeli Eurovision winner Netta Barzilai says she is "overwhelmed" after the Duke Of Cambridge asked to meet her on his Middle East tour.
Prince William joined Netta on a walkabout around Tel Aviv, where they discussed mental health and diversity.
Netta won Eurovision in May with a song, called Toy, that encouraged people to celebrate their differences.
"We talked about the way I changed how people feel here in Israel, and about self-esteem," the singer told the BBC.
"And how positivity and setting a good example for people is really making a difference.
"It was amazing," the 25-year-old continued. "He's a really, really chill guy."
Netta added that she had presented the Prince with one of the "looping machines" she uses to create her songs.
"I wanted to give him a taste of my world," she said. "So I gave him this machine which allows him to loop his voice and to create music with no instruments."
The singer said she hoped it would be put to good use, and maybe even lead to a royal entry at next year's Eurovision...
"I hope so!" she laughed. "Wouldn't it be amazing? What an amazing headline."
Still, Prince William seemed unconvinced: "You want me to be a singer?" he was overheard telling Netta during their stroll.
"You haven't heard me sing - you wouldn't want that!"
