The Daily Mail adds that the source revealed that the beauty mogul is trying to acquire tickets by other means, even if the tickets are "not VIP".

"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 source said. "Kim and Pete love the Royal Family and really wanted to be a part of this special celebration."
