Kim Kardashian needs no introduction as she’s hailed as one of the most iconic stars in recent times. The fashion mogul has millions of fans across the globe. She may be the Queen of celebrities, but her celebrity status had no effect in front of the Buckingham Palace.
According to Daily Mail, Kim’s dream of joining the official Platinum Jubilee celebrations in the UK have been dashed. Despite her best efforts, officials at Buckingham Palace have rejected her pleas to attend the Platinum Party at the Palace on Saturday.
Representatives for the star, who landed in the UK with her boyfriend Pete Davidson, who is 28, this week asked for tickets. However, the Palace turned the American couple down, as did publicists at the BBC, which will broadcast the show.
Kim was so determined to attend that a source told the outlet that she is trying to acquire tickets by other means and has even said she doesn’t mind if the tickets are ‘not VIP’. The source said, “Kim rarely gets turned down to attend any event, so this has been quite surprising, especially as she doesn’t visit the UK often. Kim and Pete love the Royal Family and really wanted to be a part of this special celebration.”
It’s not clear if the Jubilee celebrations were the only reason for the couple’s trip to London. Some 10,000 tickets were allocated via a public ballot, and 7,500 have been given to key workers, those in the Armed Forces, volunteers and charities.
Members of the Royal Family are expected to attend on behalf of the Queen, who is ‘pacing herself’ but will be watching on TV from Windsor Castle. Kim’s representatives declined to comment on the situation. Stay tuned to Thirsty for further updates.
