‘We Don’t Need American Reality TV Stars’: Kim Kardashian Gets Rejected by the Queen After Flying to London For Platinum Jubilee Event

OPINION | This article contains the author's opinion.

Kim Kardashian, who rose to notoriety after her sex tape was released in 2007, reportedly flew to London to take part in Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee.

The UK’s Sun media outlet reported that Kardashian and her boyfriend Pete Davidson attempted to get VIP tickets to the Queen’s birthday parade, but this request was rejected.

The parade took place at Horse Guards Parade and it was attended by Prince Charles, Prince William and Princess Anne. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were also at the event.

An insider source claims they were “politely” turned down.

“The Queen’s birthday parade was the hottest ticket in town as Meghan and Harry joined Kate and William and all the members of the Royal Family,” the source said. “But they were turned down as all the tickets had gone to family members of servicemen and military VIPs.

“You can’t wave the celebrity card and bag a seat like you imagine is possible at Wimbledon or the most exclusive restaurants in town. There are some tickets you just can’t buy.”

“They obviously didn’t grasp that Trooping the Colour is a 260-year-old military parade to celebrate the monarch’s birthday,” the source told The Sun. “But we don’t need American reality TV stars to make Trooping the Colour A-list. The biggest celebrities in the world are already there — the British Royal Family.”

Following the first snub, Kardashian tried to acquire tickets for the official Platinum Party at Buckingham Palace, the UK’s Daily Mail reported. Once again, she was unsuccessful.

Kardashian reportedly requested tickets for the party from both the Royal Palace and BBC, who will be broadcasting the event on Sunday. Both entities denied her request.

A source told the Daily Mail she was desperately attempting to find tickets to the event and would even accept tickets that are “not VIP.”

The source added the snub probably came as a shock to Kardashian.

“Kim rarely gets turned down to attend any event, so this has been quite surprising, especially as she doesn’t visit the UK often,” the insider said. “Kim and Pete love the Royal Family and really wanted to be a part of this special celebration.”
