Diddy and Prince Harry
The filing does imply any misconduct by Prince Harry, per the outlet. The 73-page document mentions him once, but does not list him as a defendant.
Lil Rod's legal team asserts that attendees were attracted to Combs' alleged sex-trafficking gatherings due to his connections to well-known figures, including renowned athletes, political leaders, artists, musicians, and global dignitaries.
This comes after the Department of Homeland Security's surprise raids on Diddy's properties in Los Angeles and Miami Monday, and Combs was subsequently was observed at a Miami airport, having been tracked to Antigua but not found aboard his private jet until later.
The "It's All About the Benjamins" hitmaker has found himself entangled in legal battles with three women and has suffered the repercussions of lost business opportunities.
Princes William and Harry first met Combs when the brothers organized a celebration in 2007 to express gratitude to everyone involved in the "Concert for Diana" tribute to their late mother.
The Prince of Wales has not been identified in the legal papers.
No information is available regarding the frequency of Prince Harry's interactions with the rapper following that encounter.
