We all know Dolly Parton is a national treasure, but the queen of country music has now extended an invite to actual royalty to party in the USA. The music legend said she’d “love” for Kate Middleton and Prince William to bring Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to Dollywood—and we’re manifesting this meetup hard.
“Oh, I would absolutely love for them to come to Dollywood, that would be fantastic!” she told Closer (via GB News). “The kids could go on all the rides and we would treat them like royalty.”
Parton explained that she’d want the royals to feel at home in Tennessee—and even cook for them. “I’d give Kate my mashed potatoes – I wouldn’t put on any airs for them,” the “Jolene” singer said.
“I would just let them enjoy what we enjoy, and I’m sure that’s the way they would want it,” she added. “I would love to have those kids at Dollywood.”
If the royals made the trip to the Pigeon Forge, Tenn. theme park, it would echo the times Princess Diana brought her boys William and Harry to England’s Thorpe Park (remember that iconic log flume photo?) and Disney World, experiences when the princes could have fun and hit the rides like any other kids.
Perhaps she’s hoping to make up for a missed encounter with Princess Kate last summer after having to turn down an invitation to the palace.
