According to royal expert Christopher Andersen, American rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs once had Prince Harry and Prince William on his VIP party list, but eventually stopped inviting the royal brothers when they began settling down. This revelation follows the resurfacing of a 2011 interview where Diddy expressed his desire to have the princes attend his now-infamous parties.
“Diddy invited both William and Harry back when, as he put it, the brothers ‘were young bucks getting into trouble themselves,’” Andersen explained to Fox News Digital. He added that the princes were no strangers to making headlines for their wild nights at London’s most exclusive nightclubs.
“Diddy made a point of inviting them to his parties,” Andersen said. “But after William got engaged to Kate Middleton in 2010, Diddy got the message and stopped sending out those invites.”
Though it may seem like the princes narrowly missed a headline-grabbing scandal, Andersen credits the royals’ palace handlers for keeping them out of Diddy’s infamous party circuit. Page Six reports that back in their younger days, Harry and William were regulars on the club scene, and it wouldn’t have been far-fetched for them to attend one of Diddy’s legendary gatherings—if not for the watchful eyes of the royal family’s staff.
This revelation comes at an awkward time for Diddy, who is currently facing legal trouble after federal authorities discovered an alarming scene at his mansion, reportedly stocked with 1,000 bottles of lubricant and several AR-15 rifles. An indictment obtained by Page Six claims that staff members were involved in organizing what the rapper allegedly referred to as “Freak Offs”—parties that allegedly involved controlled substances, baby oil, and extra linens. The charges detail emotional, physical, and verbal abuse toward victims who were coerced into participating in these wild events.
It seems that the royal brothers’ party days are far behind them—and thankfully, they dodged the chaos that’s now surrounding Diddy’s lifestyle.
