Once upon a time, the Queen of Country had to turn down the future Queen of England’s invitation for tea—and we can’t believe that there was ever a moment where Dolly Parton and Kate Middleton in the same room could have actually happened. (And can it still be so?)
In a recent appearance on BBC Radio 2, and per Us Weekly, Parton shared of a recent visit to London that “This time, Lordy, I even got invited to have tea with Kate, but I couldn’t even go,” she said. “I thought it was very sweet and nice of her to invite me, and one of these days I’m going to get to do that—that would be great.” Parton then jokingly added “But she wasn’t going to promote my rock album, so I had to say no.”
