Snoop Dogg has been in the news a lot recently, largely thanks to his attendance at the Olympic Games in Paris, where, after helping to ferry the Olympic torch across the French capital, he has settled in to his role as NBC Television commentator, and his unofficial role as mascot/cheerleader/hype man for the US Olympic team.
But, according to a new interview with the Californian rapper, Snoop also has a huge affection for Britain, or, more specifically, for a certain British family, the Windsors.
In fact, the Compton-born hip-hop star says that, as part of his schedule while visiting the UK recently, he was thinking of popping in to Buckingham Palace to chill with his regal fam.
“I’ll go by the palace, see if they let me in,” Snoop told Capital FM DJ Jordan North as the pair conducted an interview over high tea.
When the presenter relayed a rumour that Prince William, is “a huge Snoop fan”, Snoop took the news in his stride, adding, “Well, the Queen was a fan too. Rest in peace to the Queen, that was my girl. You know what I’m saying?”
