AceShowbiz - Snoop Dogg has expressed his deep affection for the late Queen Elizabeth II, whom he affectionately referred to as "my girl." In an interview with U.K. radio station Capital FM, the rapper recalled his 1994 run-in with the law, which threatened his ability to perform in the country.
"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 U.K., so she gave me permission to be here," Snoop revealed. He added, "Those grandbabies grew up to be Prince William and Harry, so I had influence on them, and they had influence on their grandmother, which enabled me to get into this beautiful country. They love my music, and it is what it is.There's a mutual love and respect."
Snoop's bond with the royal family extends beyond the Queen. He considers Princes William and Harry as his friends. In 2010, he tweeted, "Harry and William are my boys." He later told The Mirror, "As soon as I knew they were fans, I reached out to them."
