Princes William and Harry want Sir Paul McCartney, Beyoncé Knowles and Justin Timberlake to join the line-up for their Diana tribute concert.
The princes are desperate to convince the world's biggest music stars to take part in the event - to mark the 10th anniversary of their mother's death.
They are keen for The Beatles' legend to lead a "supergroup" who would perform the Fab Four's greatest hits.
A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "The princes know they need to get artists who are loved around the world, but particularly in America, to ensure it's a truly worldwide event no one will forget. They would love it to be the biggest since Live 8 or Live Aid.
"They really want Justin and Beyoncé to ensure there's massive coverage in the US. Paul would be the icing on the cake, he met Diana many times and is a living legend. He has been approached and is in talks. He could do something special, like lead a supergroup, just as he did with Bono to kick off Live 8."
The princes have already invited a host of musical stars to appear at this summer's Concert For Diana, including Sir Elton John, Rod Stewart, Kanye West, James Blunt, Meatloaf, Bryan Adams, Pharrell Williams, Orson, Joss Stone, Take That and Keane.
Dire Straits - one of the Diana's favourite bands - and the Spice Girls are also being urged to perform.
