Katie Price Photos and News |

Apparently fame can’t get you everything.

Katie Price was recently denied access to the most prestigious sporting event on the calendar. The reason? She’s “too chavvy”.

Although currently a glamour model, ever since she learned to play polo several years ago, Katie Price (aka Jordan) has had an increasing interest in the sport. And this year  she’s been riding even more. But she was still refused entrance to the Cartier International Polo contest in Windsor, which will be attended by Prince Charles.

According to a  Daily Mail source, Katie first attempted to get into to the VIP marquee, but was told the event was invitation only and there were no places available. Not to be dissuaded, she gave an agent instructions to buy a table for ten in another hospitality tent, run by London club China White, at a price of £6,000. Yet, last week she was told that she wasn’t welcome there either.

As her agent explains it:

“It’s true, Cartier didn’t want Katie there. We cannot understand it because Katie has worked with Cartier before.She’s been in the presence of Royalty before; she’s met the Queen and appeared at the Royal Variety Performance. It’s a big shock and Katie is incredibly upset.

It wasn’t about her wanting to mingle with the rich and famous, it’s because she’s a fan of the sport.We can only assume that someone has got it in for Katie. She thinks it’s really sad. She’s worked hard to transform her image.”

The Daily Mail source also had this to add:

“Jordan has been told she is not welcome. The polo is very prestigious and there are certain names they want there and others they definitely don’t. She might have reinvented herself but Jordan is still too chavvy as far as Cartier is concerned.

If she turns up she will not be allowed access to the tent. Tickets can’t be bought. You have to be an invited friend of Cartier [and] having Jordan there just wouldn’t be in keeping with Cartier’s image.”
