Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs news: Recent reports have revealed that Sean 'Diddy' Combs attempted to extend invitations to Prince William and Prince Harry for his notorious ‘Freak-off’ wild parties, but strict “palace handlers” put a stop to it.

Diddy’s Aspiration for Royal Company of Prince William, Harry

In an intriguing discussion with Fox News, Christopher Andersen, author of The King, shared insights about Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ interest in the royal brothers.

He stated, “Diddy invited both William and Harry back when, as he put it, the brothers ‘were young bucks getting into trouble themselves.’” At that time, the princes were no strangers to the tabloids, often seen enjoying their youthful escapades in London nightlife. Diddy, eager for the royal duo to join the festivities, “made a point of inviting them to his parties,” Andersen added.

However, the royal family ultimately declined the invitations. Andersen quipped, “As young bachelors, William and Harry might easily have said yes and attended one of Diddy’s wild parties. Thanks to their palace handlers, they dodged a bullet there.”

The arrest occurred six months after federal authorities raided his mansions in Los Angeles and Miami, allegedly uncovering over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant, which were reportedly used in Diddy’s controversial gatherings.

Prosecutors claimed that ‘Diddy’ coerced victims into participating in marathon sexual sessions with prostitutes during these “freak offs.”

Amid the shocking allegations, attention has turned to Diddy’s interactions with other celebrities, including Justin Bieber, who was taken under Diddy’s wing early in his career. Resurfaced footage shows Bieber appearing uncomfortable around the rapper in later years.

Following Diddy’s arrest, fans recalled a 2020 clip of Justin Bieber breaking down in tears while discussing his desire to protect Billie Eilish from the music industry.

Justin Bieber, now married to Hailey Bieber claimed, “It was bad... It was dark. Think about how young I was and so impressionable... I just want people to understand the psychology of why I potentially could have problems in my life.”
