Prince Harry has found himself in hot water this week after he was named in a $30 million lawsuit claiming that the rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs is a sexual abuser of both men and women.
Harry Named In Diddy’s Lawsuit
While Harry has not been accused of any specific wrongdoing at the time of this writing, he was named in a lawsuit filed by Diddy’s male former employee Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who claimed that the rapper abused him from September of 2022 to November of 2023 as they worked on his album “The Love Album: Off the Grid.”
Yahoo News reported that in the lawsuit, Jones alleged that Combs’ co-defendants were rewarded “for participating in and facilitating Combs’ sex trafficking venture” by getting “affiliation and access to Mr Combs’ popularity.”
“Mr Combs was known for throwing the ‘best’ parties,” Jones claimed. “Affiliation with, and or sponsorship of Mr Combs’ sex-trafficking parties garnered legitimacy and access to celebrities such as famous athletes, political figures, artists, musicians, and international dignitaries like British royal, Prince Harry.”

Combs’ Alleged Friendship With Harry
Combs had previously commented on Harry in the past, suggesting that the pair were friends on multiple occasions. Daily Mail reported that Harry and his older brother Prince William had met Combs and Kanye West back in 2007 at a post-concert party that the royals hosted to thank all who took part in the “Concert for Diana” at Wembley Stadium.
“I really can’t wait to get to the U.K. as London is one of my favorite cities,” Combs said in 2012. “I’m also hoping I’ll get to catch up with Prince Harry while I’m there. 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.”
This came hours after Combs’ homes in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by Department of Homeland Security agents in the wake of him being accused of sex trafficking and hit with multiple rape and sexual harassment lawsuits.
“Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners,” a DHS spokesperson said in a statement on Monday. “We will provide further information as it becomes available.”
Aside from the lawsuit from Jones, Combs is also facing lawsuits from three women and has lost a series of commercial deals over the claims being made against him.

Prince Andrew’s Scandal
Harry isn’t the first royal to be embroiled in a scandal such as this one, as his uncle Prince Andrew was previously forced to settle a lawsuit brought against him by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, an allege sex slave of the late billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Giuffre had claimed that she was forced to have sex with Andrew when she was an underage 17 year-old girl, and though Andrew denied the allegations, he still ultimately stepped back from royal duties over the scandal.
After stepping down as a senior royal back in 2020, Harry moved across the world to Southern California with his wife Meghan Markle, and they have been hobnobbing with celebrities there ever since. After what they put Queen Elizabeth through in the final years of her life, one can’t help but think that it’s karma that a A-list celebrity connection might just be Harry’s undoing in the end.
