Snoop Dogg’s royal connections have been making headlines once again.
Following his memorable appearance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, an old radio interview with UK’s Capital FM has resurfaced, where the rapper shared his plans while in London.
“I’ll drop by the palace, see if they let me in,” Snoop casually mentioned, likely referring to Buckingham Palace.
When the host, Jordan North, brought up Prince William‘s admiration for Snoop, the rapper revealed that the late Queen Elizabeth was also a fan.
Prince William has known since he was young that one day he will become the king of England, but in the meantime, he has made his own way as a high-ranking member of the British royal family. The eldest son of King Charles III and Princess Diana, William was born in June 1982. His brother, […]
“Rest in peace to the Queen, that was my homegirl. You know what I’m saying? So, I might just want to go up and, you know, see what I can do,” Snoop said, showcasing his affection for the late monarch.

In another interview, Snoop imagined the Queen telling Prince Harry, “You know Harry, I’ll let him in for you. He’s not so bad after all, and he’s quite cute.”

Although Snoop mentioned visiting Buckingham Palace, it appears he didn’t follow through on his plan, according to a spokesperson for King Charles.
Instead, Snoop has been enjoying his time in Paris, serving as a torchbearer, Team USA superfan, and a special correspondent for NBC Sports.
“I’ve been out here working the Olympics, talking to the athletes, to the families, and meeting the people and kissing the babies,” he said in an interview. “And doing the things that I do to politically stay correct, and just being Snoop Dogg. That’s what I know how to do the best.”
