British royals Prince William and Prince Harry were reportedly invited to Sean "Diddy" Combs' parties during their younger years.

However, reports claim that as the royal duo aged, they "wisely turned down" invitations from the embattled rapper.

Sean "Diddy" Combs' past parties have all come under heavy scrutiny after he was arrested and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

Prince Harry And Prince William 'Wisely Turned Down' Diddy's Party Invitations

Diddy is known to have invited several high-profile individuals to his famous bashes, especially from the music industry and Hollywood.

Royal princes were reportedly also on the guest list for the parties in their younger years. However, according to a royal author, these invitations ceased as the brothers matured and began to settle down.

"Diddy invited both William and Harry back when, as he put it, the brothers' were young bucks getting into trouble themselves,'" said "The King" author Christopher Andersen to Fox News Digital.

According to the journalist, the royal princes had "made plenty of headlines with their party animal antics," which seemed to have led Diddy to make "a point of inviting them to his parties."

Andersen added, "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."

The Rapper Said Prince Harry And William Were 'Off The List'

Anderson's claim comes after a 2011 video of Diddy resurfaced, in which he confirmed that he was no longer sending invites to William and Harry.

At the time, Combs had appeared on "The Graham Norton Show" and shared that he had invited the princes to his wild parties.

However, Graham Norton jokingly told the rapper, "Not anymore," seemingly noting that the optics wouldn't look good since William was scheduled to marry Kate Middleton that same year.

The TV host further cranked up the humor, saying, "Don't ruin our royal wedding for us."

In response, Combs revealed that he chose to retract the invitations, stating, "Trust me, they're off the list."

Diddy then went on to explain why he initially wanted the royal princes to come to his infamous soirees.

He remarked, "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?'"

Earlier in the month, Diddy was arrested on sex crime charges and was said to have organized "Freak Offs," described as sexual orgies between female victims and male prostitutes.

He is currently being held in a detention facility in New York after being denied bail twice by different judges.

As he awaits his trial, the rapper isn't distracted by the noise around his arrest and is working hard to ensure he can prove his innocence.

"His state of mind is actually remarkably positive," Diddty's attorney Marc Agnifilo said on TMZ's "The Downfall of Diddy" docuseries. "I spend several hours with him every day. His resolve is strong, he's engaged, he's focused on his defense."

Agnifilo continued, "He is so focused on trying to right his wrong that it's actually giving him a form of strength and a form of confidence that I think is going to get him through a difficult time."

Currently, no details about Diddy's alleged accomplices have been revealed, as they were not mentioned in his federal indictment.

However, that situation is expected to change, according to Tony Buzbee, who represents 120 alleged victims of Diddy's crimes and has recently brought new accusations against the rapper.

According to the Mirror, Buzbee claimed that the list of individuals implicated alongside Diddy is extensive, with many of them being very high-profile figures.

The attorney said during a press conference in Houston: "The names will shock you. The day will come when we will name names other than Sean Combs, and there's a lot of names. It's a long list already, but because of the nature of this case, we are going to make damn sure, damn sure, that we're right before we do that."

Buzbee also claimed that he and his clients "intend to aggressively pursue" the case and will

"leave no stone unturned to find all potentially liable parties."

One of Diddy's lawyers released a statement addressing the fresh allegations against the rapper by 120 accusers, calling them "defamatory."

"As Mr. Combs' legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus," attorney Erica Wolff told Page Six.

"That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors," Wolff continued. "He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court if and when claims are filed and served, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation."
