Snoop elaborated on his past experiences with Queen Elizabeth, recalling a time when he faced a potential ban from the U.K. in 1994. At that time, Snoop was dealing with legal issues, and some parties wanted to prevent him from performing in the country. According to Snoop, Queen Elizabeth intervened to support him.

“Guess who came to my defence? Just take a guess,” Snoop shared. “The Queen. The Queen said, ‘This man has done nothing in our country. He can come.’ “

Snoop praised the Queen’s support, saying, “The Queen…bow down…when the Queen speaks, bow down. That’s [Prince] Harry and William’s grandmother, you dig?” He also speculated that the princes might have influenced the Queen’s decision, imagining them saying, “Grandma, please let him in, grandma. He’s OK. We love his music.”

In a light-hearted moment, Snoop impersonated Queen Elizabeth, saying, “You know Harry, I’ll let him in for you. He’s not so bad after all and he’s quite cute,” before adding, “The Queen, that’s my gal.” Snoop even honoured Prince William with a song titled “Wet” for his bachelor party in 2010.
