source told The Sun of the official parade Thursday that celebrated the queen’s record 70 years on the throne.“The Queen’s birthday parade was the hottest ticket in town … But they were turned down as all the tickets had gone to family members of servicemen and military VIPs,” said the insider, whom The Sun described as “an impeccably-placed source.”“There are some tickets you just can’t buy,” the source said, insisting that the royal family does not “need American reality TV stars.”“The biggest celebrities in the world are already there — the British Royal Family,” the insider said.The 41-year-old reality star — who has been photographed in London this week with 28-year-old lover Davidson — was “politely” turned down by the UK’s Ministry of Defense, The Sun said.She then suffered similar humiliation while trying to get tickets for Platinum Party at the Palace on Saturday — even after saying she didn’t mind if they were “not VIP,” a source told the Daily Mail.Kardashian and her “Saturday Night Live” beau were turned down by both the Palace as well as the BBC, which is broadcasting the show, the UK paper said.“Kim rarely gets turned down to attend any event, so this has been quite surprising, especially as she doesn’t visit the UK often,” the paper’s source said.“Kim and Pete love the Royal Family and really wanted to be a part of this special celebration.”Kim’s representatives declined to comment, the Mail said.

celebrating 70 years as the British empire’s monarch with much pomp and circumstance right now — but that hasn’t drowned out the UK’s noisy fight for political change.If #AbolishTheMonarchy trending on Twitter the same day the four-day Platinum Jubilee launches is any indication, some Brits would like to see Elizabeth be the last monarch.The anti-monarchy group Republic has declared it would like to replace the royals with an elected head of state, especially as the unpopular — in some circles — Prince Charles would take over the throne once his mother dies.In January, Reuters reported that polls indicate the vast majority of people in Britain support the monarchy, and the queen herself is hugely popular. However, there is just not as much support for her eldest son and heir, Charles, and surveys suggest there is growing desire to “ditch the monarchy” among younger Britons.One wannabe activist tweeted on Thursday: “#AbolishTheMonarchy trending during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee bank holiday is beautiful.”Other users called it “nice” and “very refreshing” to see the phrase trending during the queen’s celebratory festivities.

A historic occasion! Prince Charles, Prince William and Princess Anne inspected the British troops on Queen Elizabeth II’s behalf, in which they received their first salute.
