Sean “Diddy” Combs stopped inviting Prince William and Prince Harry to his now infamous ‘freak-off’ parties once the brothers began settling down and focusing on their families, according to a royal expert.

Christopher Andersen, author of The King, said in an interview with Fox News that the music mogul wanted the princes at his events but strict “palace handlers” stopped them.

You can imagine the entire royal family is breathing a massive sigh of relief that their family name won’t be dragged along with Diddy’s. The same does not, however, apply to Prince Andrew and his ties to the convicted paedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

“Diddy invited both William and Harry back when, as he put it, the brothers ‘were young bucks getting into trouble themselves,’” Andersen told Fox News Digital. “Obviously, in their youth, both princes made plenty of headlines with their party animal antics at nightclubs in and around London.”

The journalist remarked how Diddy made a point of inviting them to his parties until he was blue in the face.

“But those invitations were wisely turned down, and after William and Kate [Middleton] got engaged [in 2010], Diddy got the hint and stopped inviting them altogether.”

Both William, now 42, and Harry, now 40, were regular club-goers back in the D and, as the royal pundit noted, “might easily have said yes and attended one of Diddy’s wild parties.”

However, “thanks to their palace handlers, they dodged a bullet there,” according to Andersen.

Combs, now 54, confirmed during a 2011 appearance on The Graham Norton Show that he was keen to have the royals in his lurches, saying “I was like, ‘Why don’t you come hang out with me?’”.

However, by the time the royal wedding of William and Kate was approaching, Diddy recognised it was no longer appropriate.

“Don’t ruin our royal wedding for us,” the TV host jokingly pleaded, prompting Combs to reassure him that the princes were no longer being invited.

“Trust me, they’re off the list,” he shared.

Despite their encounters with Diddy, such as being photographed with him at a 2007 concert after-party in honour of their mother, the prince brothers never attended any of his Hollyweird parties.

According to Andersen, Diddy had even aimed to secure an audience with the late Queen Elizabeth II, though that goal never materialized. “Diddy has admitted that he aspired to move in royal circles and was even angling for an audience with the late queen,” Andersen claimed.

The ‘I’ll Be Missing You’ singer was arrested last month and charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution to which he pleaded not guilty.

A raid of Combs’ homes in March unearthed 1,000 bottles of lubricant and baby oil that were allegedly used during his “freak-off” parties, which drew a slew of bold-faced names.

Andersen notes, “King Charles must be grateful that his sons’ encounters with Diddy didn’t include participating in the rap star’s infamous ‘freak offs,’”

Just this week, the Diddler was hit with a raft of civil lawsuits. Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee announced during a press conference that he is representing 120 individuals over alleged incidents that stretch back decades.
