PRINCE Harry has been named in a £24million US lawsuit which alleges hip hop mogul P Diddy used his name to give his sex trafficking parties legitimacy.

Record producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones has accused the rapper - real name Sean Combs of numerous sexual assault allegations.

His lawsuit against Diddy, 54, and several of his pals and record labels was filed in New York last month.

While Harry, 39, is not accused of any wrongdoing, his name in the suit could lead to him being called to give a sworn statement.

It is understood the Prince only met Combs once, but the rapper ensured that his photo was taken with the royal.

Jones, who claims he was groped, harassed and threatened by Combs, says in the suit that Diddy's co-defendants were rewarded "for participating in and facilitating Combs' sex trafficking".
