Kim Kardashian’s dreams of attending the UK’s official Platinum Jubilee celebration are shattered.

Uninvited: Kim Kardashian’s dreams of attending the UK’s official Platinum Jubilee celebration are shattered
But Buckingham Palace rejected the American couple, as did the BBC’s publicist, that they would air the show.
Kim is so determined to attend that a source told the Daily Mail that she is trying to get tickets by other means – even saying she doesn’t mind if the tickets are “not VIP”.
They said: “Kim is rarely turned away from any event, so this is very surprising, especially since she doesn’t visit the UK very often.
“Kim and Pete love royalty and really want to be a part of this special celebration.”

The Queen, Diana Ross and Nile Rogers, among others, will perform at the event, while Sir David Attenborough and David Beckham will be featured.
Around 10,000 tickets were allocated through a public vote, and 7,500 tickets were allocated to key workers, armed forces personnel, volunteers and charities.
The royals are expected to be present on behalf of the Queen, who is “pacing herself” but will be watching TV at Windsor Castle.
Earlier this week, Kardashian and Davidson were spotted having dinner at the River Cafe in west London and shopping in Mayfair.
A representative for King declined to comment.

The reality star and her comedian boyfriend arrived in the UK in recent days and were shopping for jewellery in London’s Mayfair borough on Tuesday.
After arriving in the UK, the couple also enjoyed a typically low-key date night at the River Café in London.
It is unclear if the jubilee celebrations were the only reason for the couple to travel to London.
Saturday Night Live star Pitt is known worldwide due to his relationship with superstar Kim.
They kept mum about the status of their relationship until Pitt called the media mogul his “girlfriend” in a February interview with People (a TV show!).
