Harry’s name appeared in the 73-page document filed against Combs on Tuesday, accusing the rapper of s*x trafficking and s*xual abuse.
Last month, allegations against Combs surfaced, with record producer Rodney Jones branding him a serial s*xual abuser in the $30 million (£24 million) lawsuit.
The lawsuit against the billionaire includes a roster of celebrity acquaintances, among whom the Duke of Sussex is listed, underscoring Combs’ use of VIP connections to attract guests to his events.
Combs is known to have extended invitations to high-profile individuals to his gatherings through his associations with “celebrities such as famous athletes, political figures, artists, musicians, and international dignitaries like British Royal, Prince Harry,” as stated in the legal notice.
Combs face lawsuits from three separate women in addition to the claims made by Mr. Jones. It’s important to note that there is no implication of wrongdoing by the prince, and his name is mentioned only once in the documents as an example of a well-known celebrity associate of Combs.
The musician is currently embroiled in numerous s*xual assault accusations in the US lawsuit, with Mr. Jones claiming that Combs s*xually assaulted him at a specific party.
The lawsuit further asserts that Combs’ gatherings were frequented by s*x workers and underage girls. In 2007, both Harry and his brother Prince William were photographed alongside Combs and Kanye West after attending the Concert for Diana at London’s Wembley Stadium.
Despite purportedly meeting the royal only once, Combs mentioned the royal’s name during a 2012 interview with The Sun.
“I really can’t wait to get to the UK as London is one of my favourite cities. I’m also hoping I’ll get to catch up with Prince Harry while I’m there,” Combs said. “He’s such a cool guy, and it’s about time we hung out. I need him to take me to some of those wild Mayfair clubs.”
