Jordan North was interviewing Snoop (Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr.) in London last week when the convo turned to the singer’s extracurricular activities. Snoop said “I’ll go by the palace, see if they let me in.”

“Hopefully I can get in” Snoop added. “Rest in peace to the Queen, that was my girl. You know what I’m saying? So, just may want to go up and, you know, see what you do.”
North didn’t think Snoop would have a problem getting through the front door saying “I’m pretty sure you could go to the palace – You’re Snoop Dogg, you can do anything you want.”
We’re pretty sure the rapper didn’t follow up on his idea though, as the New York Post noted that “A spokesperson for King Charles told The Post that, as far as they were aware, Snoop did not visit the royal residence in the days after his interview on July 23 and did not meet with the King.”

The “Drop It Like It’s Hot” hitmaker is a longtime royal fan, and this is not the first time he has spoken about the late monarch with affection.
In a 2015 interview with The Guardian as well as a February 2022 interview with DJ Whoo Kid, Snoop talked about his fondness for the late queen.
In 1994 Snoop was in the UK on tour and there were calls for him to be expelled “because he was charged for the murder of an LA man in 1993.
Though the charges were dropped in 1996, at the time Snoop found himself on the front page of British tabloids, with one headline declaring “’Kick this evil bastard out!’”

Snoop told The Guardian “When they tried to kick me out of England, the Queen made a comment that her grandbabies loved Snoop Doggy Dogg, and he had done no wrong in the UK, so she gave me permission to be here.”
The grandkids were Princes William and Harry who “love my music, and it is what it is. There’s a mutual love and respect.”
“You think they weren’t there, saying, ‘Grandma, please let him in, grandma. He’s OK. We love his music.’”
One day after the queen’s death on September 8, 2022, Snoop posted a clip from his DJ Whoo Kid interview on Instagram with the caption “RIP to the Queen.”

“Prince Harry and William are my boys,” Snoop told The Mirror in 2021. “As soon as I knew they were fans, I reached out to them.” Hmm, maybe Snoop can play at William’s coronation?
