London: 

Dirty Dancer: Dita Von Teese

Britain's Prince Charles has booked burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese to perform at Prince Harry's birthday party in September.

The British royal, first in line to throne, met Marilyn Manson's ex-wife at the Cartier International Polo Tournament at the Guards Club in Windsor, London, this past weekend. He asked what she did for a living and Dita (35) replied, "I'm a dancer."

But Charles (59) did not realise the type of dancing Von Teese does and invited her to perform at Harry's 24th birthday bash.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper, "Poor Charles was so embarrassed when he realised what he'd done. He genuinely had no idea about her raunchy stage act.

"She was stunned when he suggested the idea, explaining that his son loved a good dance.

"But he gnawed his fist to within an inch of its knuckle when his aides explained what sort of dancing she did for a living."
