George Ezra left 'amazed' as he discovers Duchess Kate Middleton is his biggest fan

Thanks to his catchy songs and charming personality, George Ezra has amassed thousands of fans over the years - including members of the Royal Family.

The future Queen of England Kate Middleton is reportedly a huge fan of the George, 29, and his bops - something the Budapest singer is rather pleased about.

“I heard that Kate Middleton has a couple of my CDs. It’s a good story - let’s go with it,” the singer confessed backstage at Capital FM Summertime Ball with Barclaycard on Sunday night.

"It’s beautiful. What an amazing thing. If she’s got them [cds] in the car, happy days."

Following his stellar performance, George was forced to explain why he changed the lyrics of his recent single 'Green Green Grass' during his performance at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Fans of the 29-year old appeared to be unimpressed that he omitted the track's reference to dying.

Normally the star sings: "Green green grass, blue blue sky, you better throw a party on the day that I die."

But instead he simply sang: "Green green grass, blue blue sky" twice over.

After the singer shared a video of his performance on Instagram, one disappointed follower responded: "I really liked the performance, however and I'm not being picky, but what was the deal with the cut-off of the lyrics? Why not just perform a different song altogether?"

Another added: "Such a shame the 'on the day that I die' was removed."

A third user ranted: "A posh boy who can't sing, gifted everything in life allowing his lyrics to be ridiculously censored all to perform for a monarchy defines everything that is wrong with the Disunited Kingdom."

Ezra, however, felt it would be inappropriate given the nature of the event.

"I think the reaction to it has kind of worked in our favour to say it was unnecessary. My gut instinct was that you don't need to change it," he told the Sun.

"I don't know if it came from the royals or the producers of the show, but it's pretty obvious that if you're playing for the Royal Family and the powers that be say, 'We don't want you to sing that lyric,' then you're not going to argue."

"I'm not demanding anybody does anything on the day that I've passed away. It's a song about celebrating life. And it feels good when you sing it."
