a resurfaced 2011 interview from “The Graham Norton Show” saw the disgraced music mogul, 54, confess he wanted William and Harry to go to his fêtes when they were “young bucks.”“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. “Obviously, in their youth, both princes made plenty of headlines with their party animal antics at nightclubs in and around London.”“Diddy made a point of inviting them to his parties,” Andersen continued. “But those invitations were wisely turned down, and after William and Kate got engaged, Diddy got the hint and stopped inviting them altogether.”“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 royal expert added.In the resurfaced clip, Norton clarified whether the “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper really did want the royals at his events.“Not anymore,” he clarified as Norton pointed out that William was about to marry Kate Middleton later that year.“Don’t ruin our royal wedding for us,” the host, now 61, joked, prompting Combs to reassure him, “Trust me, they’re off the list.”He added, “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 appeared to be referencing William and Harry’s booze-fueled younger years, during which the brothers would have nights out in Las Vegas.In 2007, both the Prince of Wales, 42, and the Duke of Sussex, 40, were pictured with the scandal-scarred musician at an after-party for a concert honoring their late mother, Princess Diana.Diddy.
