Legendary musician Elton John applauded Prince Harry for his live HIV test on the social media to raise awareness about the deadly virus.
The 69-year-old singer took to Instagram to praise the prince.
"Bravo Prince Harry! Your mother would be so proud of you," he wrote.
Prince Harry underwent a HIV test which was broadcast live to the world through social networking site Faceboook.
John further went on writing, "In 1991, Princess Diana moved a mountain by addressing the stigma surrounding people living with HIV/AIDS. She showed the world we could safely wrap our arms around AIDS patients, by shaking hands with a patient without gloves."
Appreciating prince for putting cease to all kind of stereotypes, the songwriter said, "Today in London, Prince Harry gave that stigma a knock on the head by showing the world how easy and simple it is to take an HIV test.
