The pair will meet at Abbey Road Studios on Friday 28 February along with members of the Invictus Games Choir, who are recording a special single called Unbroken, in aid of the Invictus Games Foundation. The song was created by Jon Bon Jovi to shine a spotlight on veterans living with PTSD and honour their service.

The Duke, who has shown off his sense of humour in previous similar social media exchanges with Michelle and Barack Obama, even appeared to hint that he may have a go at singing in the jokey text exchange.
