Dolly Parton Declined Kate Middleton's Tea Invitation For A Pretty Iconic Reason

    Sorry, Kate.

    Dolly Parton is a busy lady.

    She's busy promoting her dog apparel and accessories line: Doggy Parton.

    She's writing children's books...also about dogs.

    She's dressing up as a Playboy Bunny and seducing her elusive husband, Carl Dean.

    And she just released a cover of "We Are the Champions/We Will Rock You."

    Unfortunately, that means she doesn't have time for tea with regular folk like Kate Middleton.

    Dolly was in the UK recently and told the BBC: “This time, Lordy, I even got invited to have tea with Kate, and I felt so bad. I couldn’t even go! They had all this stuff set up.”

    “I thought that was very sweet and nice to invite me to tea, and one of these days, I’m going to get to do that!" she continued.

    Why exactly couldn't she make it?

    “She wasn’t going to promote my rock album, so I had to say no. I hope she hears it, though!” she said.

    Yep, in case you didn't know, Dolly ALSO has a rock album called Rockstar coming out in November.

    Anyway, sorry, Kate! Maybe make a TikTok about Dolly's album or something, and you'll get that tea invite!
