Pete Doherty rumoured to perform at royal ball

Former Libertines frontman Pete Doherty has reportedly been booked for perform an exclusive show at a royal ball in Monaco next week.

The one-time boyfriend of Kate Moss is said to be performing for guests at the £750-a-head Rose Ball event for Prince Albert of Monaco, among others.

"A lot of people are expecting a glamorous evening," a source tells The Sun newspaper. "It's a serious ball with guests in formal attire. It's where wealthy locals like to be seen every year. Pete will need to be on his best behaviour."

The newspaper also quotes a local official on Monaco's tramp laws, who state: "There are no tramps in Monaco, public intoxication is not allowed. People like that get taken to the French border."

Also on the line-up for the regal event are Mark Ronson, Miles Kane and Imelda May.
