Sean “Diddy” Combs tried to invite Prince William and Prince Harry to his “wild” parties when he was a bachelor, but no-nonsense palace aides put those plans on hold.

The claim was made by Christopher Andersen, author of “The King,” after an interview surfaced in 2011 revealing that the disgraced music mogul wanted the princes to attend his infamous parties.

“Diddy invited both William and Harry back when, as he put it, the brothers were ‘young and troubled,’” Andersen explained to Fox News Digital. Apparently, when they were younger, both princes made headlines for their party animal antics at nightclubs in and around London.

“Diddy made a point of inviting them to his parties,” Andersen claimed. But those invitations were wisely declined, and after William and Kate got engaged, Diddy got the hint and stopped inviting them altogether.

“As young bachelors, William and Harry could have easily said yes and attended one of Diddy’s wild parties. Thanks to their palace handlers, they dodged a bullet there.”

Fox News Digital has reached out to Diddy’s spokesperson and his lawyer for comment.

During an appearance on “The Graham Norton Show,” the Irish TV personality told Diddy, “I read that you want to bring Prince William and Prince Harry to a Diddy party.”

Diddy hesitated at first, saying, “I don’t think… Not anymore. I mean before you know it…” as the audience laughed.

The 54-year-old was referring to William’s engagement to Kate Middleton. The couple married that year.

“Don’t ruin our royal wedding for us!” Norton joked.

Diddy replied, “Trust me, they’re off the list.”

Diddy did admit, however, that in the past, he’d loved to have princes attend one of his parties.

“I was like, ‘Why don’t you hang out with me?’” he recalled.

“I’m sure King Charles, who has seen the monarchy so badly tarnished by Prince Andrew’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, is not exactly thrilled at the prospect of seeing the royal family embroiled in another sordid sex scandal.

“King Charles should be grateful that his sons’ encounters with Diddy did not involve engaging in the rap star’s infamous ‘freaking out’.”

Diddy was arrested on September 16

If convicted, he faces a minimum of 15 years behind bars or a maximum of life in prison.

Diddy’s legal team appealed Monday to have him released from prison while he awaits trial in his sex trafficking case. From newly filed documents, Combs appears to be “building his dream legal defense team,” a source close to Diddy told Fox News Digital.

The “I’ll Be Missing You” singer has been denied bail twice, even after offering a $50 million bail package that included GPS monitoring at his home on Miami’s Star Island. Diddy’s team has tried to show the judge that he is not a flight risk through his communications with the U.S. Attorney’s Office during the ongoing investigation.

US District Court Judge Andrew Carter cited Diddy’s potential for witness tampering in his reasons for denying bail. The judge acknowledged the prosecution had demonstrated “by clear and convincing evidence that there was no condition or set of conditions” to ensure public safety.

“Prince William and Prince Harry first met the now-disgraced mogul when he performed at their 2007 concert for Diana at Wembley Stadium,” she said. “Prince Harry chose Diddy to perform at the concert, as he revealed in his 2023 memoir, ‘Spare’.

“Their interactions were spontaneous and friendly,” Fordwich added. “There was no scandal at the time. It was all very above board and public.”

Fordwich points out that, in 2012, Diddy told The Sun that he couldn’t wait to get to the UK because London was one of his favorite cities.

“I’m also hoping to catch up with Prince Harry while I’m there,” Diddy said. “He’s a great guy, and it’s time for us to hang out. … I need him to take me to some of those wild Mayfair clubs.”

William and Harry held a concert for Diana on their mother’s birthday that year. According to Vanity Fair, there were 63,000 people in attendance and 27 musical acts, including Diddy, who performed “I’ll Be Missing You.” The outlet notes that the track had previously been featured on a 1997 tribute album dedicated to Diana.

Kinsey Schofield, host of the podcast “To Di For Daily,” told Fox News Digital that the 2011 clip that has been circulating proves Diddy’s only real encounter with the princes was at the “Concert for Diana.”

“Norton himself raised questions about Diddy’s relationship with the young princes,” Schofield explained. “I used this clip to defend Prince Harry earlier this year when I felt like he was being dragged into a civil sex-related lawsuit against Diddy by Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones, a former producer for Combs. Jones used Prince Harry’s name in his suit as an example of the type of power broker Combs used to shield his alleged nefarious activities.

“I worked with Combs in 2008,” Schofield added. “I had no negative experiences with him, and I was devastated and disappointed by the allegations. That said, I believe the victims, and I am sorry that their experiences are different than mine. I hope every victim can find healing through the justice system, no matter how slow it may be.

“In this case, having worked with Combs myself, I feel like the entire exchange between Graham Norton and the rapper was a joke,” Schofield continued. “‘The Graham Norton Show’ is unlike anything else in the United States. It’s a small, intimate studio, a vibrant audience, and international celebrities… [which] often translates to [a] studio audience that’s very engaged and excited to be there.

“Celebrities sitting on couches and trying to interject jokes to make the audience giggle,” she pointed out. “I don’t think Diddy’s relationship with the princes is anything but the positive experience that everyone had at the Concert for Diana.”

During his conversation with Norton, 61, Diddy said he “would love to meet” Queen Elizabeth II.

“She doesn’t have to hang out with me, but I could just go have tea or something, and we could kick it,” he said.
