Katy Perry will be crowned King Henry III next month. She is treated like a princess while performing at Charles’ coronation.
The singer told Extra Tuesday that she will be staying at Windsor Castle during her visit to the UK in May.
“I’m really excited,” the 38-year-old “American Idol” judge gushed. “I might be posting a lot because I’m really going to be in a castle. This is wild.”
Perry went on to describe the “very wonderful” invitation he received from the 74-year-old monarch to the debut.
“It was like a handwriting I’ve never seen [before]”the songwriter explained. “I liked it.”
Queen She noted that it would be an “honour” to celebrate Charles’ coronation eight months after Elizabeth’s death.
“I am an ambassador for one of the foundations of the British Asian Trust, which is primarily focused on ending child trafficking… and that fits perfectly with all of my values. [when] she asked me to sing, ”she explained.
More must-see royal coverage:
Perry made a similar statement when news broke on April 14 that he would be one of the singers at the coronation concert on Sunday, May 7.
Lionel Richie, Andrea Bocelli, British pop group Take That, Sir Bryn Terfel, Freya Ridings and Alexis Ffrench will also perform, although many artists refuse to do so.
Rolling Stone reported in March that Adele, Elton John, Robbie Williams and the Spice Girls had turned down offers from the palace.
It is noteworthy that Prince Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, also did not attend the event.
Although Buckingham Palace confirmed earlier this month that the 38-year-old Duke of Sussex had accepted his father’s invitation, his wife remains in California with their two children – 3-year-old son Archie and daughter Lilibet, 1.
“There was no way Meghan would miss her son’s. [4th] birthday,” a source told Page Six at the time, because the ceremony is the same day as Archie’s milestone.
Harry is a “Suits” graduate and has lived in Montecito since 2020; Markle returns twice for Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee in June 2022 and the queen’s funeral that September.
He and the former military pilot have a strained relationship with their family members.
Since the two stepped down from their royal duties in 2021, they’ve been consistently hitting the monarch in a Netflix documentary series, a bombastic memoir and multiple interviews.
