According to The Sun, Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend, SNL star and comedian Pete Davidson, wanted to attend Trooping the Color, an official parade held on Thursday to commemorate the Queen’s record 70 years on the throne. Her team reportedly stated that she “didn’t even ask to go.”
“The Queen’s birthday parade was the hottest ticket in town. But they were turned down as all the tickets had gone to family members of servicemen and military VIPs, there are some tickets you just can’t buy, the royal family does not need American reality TV stars. The biggest celebrities in the world are already there, the British Royal Family,” The Sun cited a reliable source as saying.

Kim’s representative, however, turned down the reports, informing Page Six that she was only in London to encourage Davidson. A Davidson representative also notified Page Six that the Platinum Jubilee report contains “no truth.”
“Pete was working on a secret project in London and Kim was there to support him, Kim had a cover shoot back in LA yesterday that was planned a long time ago, so she couldn’t have attended anyway, she didn’t even ask to go.” Kim’s rep told Page Six.
