Back in March, Sean Combs was sued by yet another victim. Combs likely drugged, assaulted, raped and trafficked hundreds, if not thousands of people over the course of decades. In the March lawsuit, Combs’ victim described Combs’ bragging that he partied with loads of famous people. Apparently, Sean Combs cited Prince Harry as someone who he partied with. In 2007, Prince Harry AND Prince William spent some time with Combs at the concert event in their mother’s honor. Photos of Combs with both princes exist, and Combs really did meet both of them. Well, apparently Sean Combs was sort of obsessed with trying to party with the princes, but Harry and William always turned him down:

Seemingly every celebrity in Hollywood has attended one of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ infamous parties over the years. According to the BBC, however, there were two guests he always wanted but never got: Princes William and Harry. Diddy’s former publicist, Rob Shuter, told the broadcaster that the disgraced mogul instructed him to invite the royals to his parties more than 10 times. Shuter also said that Diddy displayed framed photos of William and Harry in one of his properties.

Diddy “thought of himself as a king,” Shuter explained; he wanted to become the “party king of New York.” With that in mind, the publicist went on, “it makes perfect sense that he would like to have two princes in his entourage.”

The rapper was reportedly so eager to have them in attendance that he allegedly offered to pay for their travel, accommodation, and security bills. But evidently these incentives weren’t enough to convince the princes, who never showed up. A smart decision: Diddy’s parties, in particular his annual “White Party,” have attracted scrutiny as the full scope of Diddy’s allegedly sprawling “criminal enterprise” comes into view.

While Diddy has denied any and all wrongdoing, some of his famous friends have come under fire for their association with the disgraced entertainer. And although both princes have been pictured with Diddy—Harry’s name even appears in one of the lawsuits, but only as an example of the level of celebrity to which Diddy had access—the rapper himself has admitted that he tried and failed to get the “young bucks” to hang out with him. Stunning foresight on the part of some palace aide.

The truth is, I think William and Harry probably avoided the parties because they were in America. In their 20s, the brothers tended to only party locally, in London bars and house parties in the country. Why would they travel to the Hamptons to get sloshed? But yeah, smart move. I’m glad they never partied with Combs. I wonder who else Combs invited but they never showed up.
