Dolly Parton has extended a warm invitation to the royal family, inviting them to visit Dollywood in Tennessee. She expressed a desire to meet Kate Middleton, whom she missed the chance to connect with previously. Parton, who has long admired the royals, said she would love for Kate, Prince William, and their children—George, Charlotte, and Louis—to experience the theme park. She emphasized that if they visited, they would be treated “like royalty,” with plenty of fun for the kids on the rides. Dolly also revealed that she had once been invited to tea by Kate but had to decline due to her busy schedule recording an album. Reflecting on the missed opportunity, Dolly joked, “I felt so bad… one of these days, I’m going to be able to do that.” Dolly assured that if Kate visited, she would be herself, offering simple hospitality, such as sharing her mashed potatoes, rather than putting on any airs. Parton’s invitation highlights her deep admiration for the royal family and her desire to connect with them.
