In a recently resurfaced interview from over a decade ago, rapper and music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs disclosed that he once extended party invitations to none other than Prince William and Prince Harry during their younger years. This revelation, shared on the popular British talk show The Graham Norton Show 13 years ago, showcases an unexpected connection between the royal brothers and the legendary rapper.
Diddy’s Party invitation to the Royals
In the interview, Diddy shared a lighthearted conversation with host Graham Norton, who brought up a rumour about the rapper wanting to invite the princes to one of his famous parties.Norton mentioned, “I read that you want to get Prince Harry and Prince William to a Diddy party.” Diddy responded with a laugh, “Not anymore,” but went on to explain the context behind the invitations.
The rapper recalled that during Prince William and Prince Harry’s youth, they were often making headlines for their wild antics. In response, Diddy jokingly offered them an alternative. He said, “Before, when they were young bucks growing up, they were getting in a lot of trouble themselves. So I said, hey, why don’t you come hang out with me?” The idea was to give the young princes a place to unwind away from the spotlight, though it seems they never took him up on the offer.

Though Prince William and Prince Harry never officially attended one of Diddy’s infamous parties, images from an event around that time show the two sharing lighter moments with the rapper. One notable photo captures Prince William shaking hands with Diddy, while another shows Prince Harry laughing alongside Diddy and musician Kanye West, highlighting a brief but cordial interaction between British royalty and American music royalty.
Diddy’s interest in meeting Queen Elizabeth II
During the same interview, Diddy also revealed his admiration for British culture and his interest in meeting Queen Elizabeth II. Though he didn’t expect the Queen to attend any of his gatherings, he did express a desire to have a more formal encounter. “I’d like to meet her. She doesn’t have to hang out with me, but I could go over for some tea or something,” he said humorously. Diddy even noted that British culture influenced him to hire a butler, adding a personal connection to his affinity for British traditions.

While the interview showcases a playful side of Diddy, recent developments have cast a darker shadow over his public image.
