Trigger Warning: This article contains mentions of rape and abuse.
In a resurfaced 2011 interview with The Graham Norton Show, Sean Diddy Combs confessed that he once wanted Prince William and Prince Harry to attend his parties.
The music mogul, known for his extravagant social gatherings, joked about the British royals joining his guest list when they were younger. This interview has recently resurfaced, raising questions over whether Combs was ever able to lure the princes to his famous parties.
During an interview on The Graham Norton Show in 2011, Combs made a lighthearted confession about wanting Prince William and Prince Harry to attend his parties when they were “young bucks.”
He stated that this was no longer the case at the time of the interview, as William was planning to marry Kate Middleton later that year. “Not anymore,” Combs replied, as Norton mentioned the approaching royal wedding. He instantly reassured, “Trust me, they’re off the list.”
The rapper explained that when the princes were younger and had a reputation for getting into trouble, he thought they’d enjoy his wild parties. “Before when they were young bucks growing up and they were getting in a lot of trouble themselves, so, hey, I was like, ‘Why don’t you come hang out with me?’” Combs recalled.
Combs’ comments appear to refer to some of Prince Harry’s well-known youthful indiscretions, such as his infamous Las Vegas trips. The Duke of Sussex, now 40, was a frequent partygoer in his youth. These wild evenings out generated headlines, and Harry was regularly portrayed as the party prince by the media.
Prince William, on the other hand, was known for keeping a low profile but was active in the social scene when he was younger. However, there is no conclusive proof that any prince ever went to one of Combs’ gatherings.
While Combs joked about inviting the princes to his events, it is unknown whether Prince William or Prince Harry ever attended one of his famous parties. There is no verified account of any royal attending any of Combs’ extravagant gatherings.
However, the rapper did have a connection to the royal family. Combs performed at Wembley Stadium for the Princess Diana Memorial Concert in 2007. Following the show, he reportedly attended an afterparty at a club called Paper, but neither Prince William nor Prince Harry were present.
Recently, Combs has faced major legal challenges. He is currently involved in multiple civil and federal proceedings, including charges of sexual trafficking, racketeering, and fraud.
A 14-page indictment claims that his parties, which were once regarded as extravagant social gatherings, were much darker in nature. According to the indictment, some of these events, known as freak offs, used drugs and assaulted people.
One of the lawsuits even mentions Prince Harry. According to producer Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones, Combs’ parties attracted people because of his connections to celebrities and dignitaries, including British royal Prince Harry.
Although Harry is mentioned in the case, there is no evidence of any misconduct on his behalf. He has not been tied to any illegal activity, and it is unclear how closely he worked with Combs, if at all.

Meet the actress, producer, and film distributor who made her debut with a Kannada film in 2002 while she was in school. The actress has always grabbed headlines for her personal life, especially her marriage with the former Chief Minister of Karnataka. This actor’s first marriage happened when she was just 14 and her husband had then accused the actor’s father of abduction. We are talking about Radhika Kumaraswamy.
Radhika Kumaraswamy was born as Radhika Poojary on November 1, 1986, in a typical Tulu-speaking family. The actress has a younger brother and the duo were born and brought up in Mangalore, Karnataka where their father Devraj Shetty stayed.
Radhika was still in high school when she made her acting debut in 2002. After that in her career, the actress worked in 30 films as an actor and then turned into a film producer. Besides her professional life, Radhika Kumaraswamy has always been in the limelight owing to disturbances in her personal life. Her two failed marriages and controversial relationship with her family have always grabbed a significant amount of media attention.
Radhika Kumaraswamy entered the film industry with the Kannada movie Neela Megha Shama in 2002, shortly after completing her 9th grade. However, her first release was Ninagagi, where she starred opposite Vijay Raghavendra. Following this, she featured in Tavarige Baa Tangi alongside Shivrajkumar. Both films were successful at the box office. By 2003, Radhika had become a sensation in the Sandalwood industry. That year, she appeared in five Kannada films, including Hemanth Hegde’s directorial debut Ooh La La with Krishna Mohan, Thayi Illada Tabbali, Mane Magalu, and Hudugigaagi.
In the same year, she also worked in Yograj Bhat’s debut feature film Mani, where she portrayed the daughter of a prostitute. Radhika received praise for her exceptional performance, though all five films failed at the box office. Despite this, she won the Karnataka State Film Award for Best Actress for her role as Gowri in Thayi Illada Tabbali.
Subsequently, Radhika entered the Tamil film industry and quickly worked in four Tamil films and one Telugu film (Bhadadri Ramudu). She made her Kollywood debut with S. P. Jananathan’s award-winning directorial debut Iyarkai. Another turning point in her career came in 2005, when she featured in four films.
Some of Radhika Kumaraswamy’s notable works include Rishi, Masala, Auto Shankar, Anna Thangi, Ulla Kadathal, and Navashakthi Vaibhava, among others. In addition to acting, she has also worked as a producer and film distributor. She acquired the distribution rights for her film Anatharu, in which she shared the screen with Upendra and Darshan. She also purchased the rights to another film of hers, Ishwar (originally launched as Narasimha), but was unsuccessful in releasing it.
Radhika later established a production studio called Shamika Enterprises, named after her daughter. Through this studio, she produced the film Lucky, starring Ramya and Yash.
As per several reports, Radhika Kumaraswamy exchanged wedding vows with Ratan Kumar at the Sri Durga Parameshwari Temple, Kateel, on November 26, 2000. It is important to mention that she was just 14 years old at the time of the marriage. In April 2002, Radhika’s former husband complained, alleging that her father, Devraj, had abducted her. According to Ratan, Devraj feared that news of the marriage might jeopardize Radhika’s career.
Following this, Radhika’s mother demanded that her daughter’s marriage to Ratan be declared null and void, accusing Ratan of forcibly marrying her. Additionally, Devraj claimed that Ratan had even attempted to burn Radhika alive.
In August 2002, Ratan Kumar passed away after suffering a heart attack. Radhika once again made headlines due to her personal life when, in November 2010, she revealed that she had married H.D. Kumaraswamy, the former Chief Minister of Karnataka. According to Radhika, the couple had married in 2006 and shared a daughter named Shamika.
The union between Radhika and H.D. Kumaraswamy attracted significant attention, not only because of their public profiles but also due to the large age gap between them, as well as the political implications of the marriage. At the time of their marriage, Kumaraswamy was 47 years old, while Radhika was 27 years younger.
On the work front, actress and producer Radhika Kumaraswamy is set to appear in her upcoming film Bhairadevi, which is scheduled to hit theatres on October 3, 2024. Directed by Shrijai, Bhairadevi will also feature Ramesh Aravind and Anu Prabhakar in key roles. Radhika recently disclosed that her future in acting will depend on the success of the film, praising the team’s perseverance in overcoming production challenges.
