Spears revealed the snub to British comic Frank Skinner during a television show, recorded last week while she was in Britain to promote her latest single "Overprotected.''

Details of the interview appeared in British newspapers Thursday. The Frank Skinner Show featuring Spears is scheduled to air on Britain's ITV Saturday.

The 20-year-old singer said she and the 19-year-old prince, who is second in line to Britain's throne, had been exchanging e-mails, but she denied rumors of a cyber romance.

Skinner, whom TV regulators have criticized for his saucy questions, asked Spears whether it was true that she had been "quite friendly'' with the prince and questioned her about their relationship.

"Yeah, it was just like, all blown out of proportion - we exchanged e-mails for a little bit and he was supposed to come and see me somewhere but it didn't work out,'' Spears replied.

"You were blown out by Prince William?'' Skinner asked, to which Spears replied: "Yeah.'' She said she had no idea why the prince changed his mind about meeting.
