In the magnetic realm of music, Katy Perry is a force to be reckoned with. Since beginning her ‘Katy Perry: PLAY’ residency in December 2021, the singer-songwriter has been performing back-to-back shows. However, earlier this month, she held her final presentation, which featured the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle. When the royals entered the VIP section of the event, the crowd went insane.

However, this was not the first time the ‘Last Friday Night’ singer performed in front of a royal audience. Further, she has an additional connection with the Buckingham Palace royals.

The royal link is none other than Prince Harry’s father King Charles. When she performed at the king’s coronation ceremony on May 6, everyone in the audience was grooving. In a sparkly Disney-inspired gown, the singer took center stage at Windsor Castle and sang her two singles, ‘Roar’ and ‘Fireworks’. The king’s grandkids, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, were seen bobbing their heads along with the lyrics during her ‘Roar’ performance, with the princess even attempting to sing along.

During a brief pause, Perry, who was present as the British Asian Trust’s ambassador, stated how “thrilled” she was to be a part of the magnificent occasion. In addition, the singer wore a My Fair Lady-inspired Vivienne Westwood gown with a tilted hat to the coronation. Notably, the Duchess of Sussex elected to stay in California with her children, missing the coronation, while only Prince Harry attended.

Meghan Markle’s absence from Coronation also reignited her old feud with the singer, and her absence rescued her from an embarrassing confrontation.

During her American Idol promotional tour, the ‘Roar’ singer stated that if she were in Markle’s place, she would have done “one more fitting” for the wedding gown. According to a source close to the Daily Mail, the Duchess was allegedly holding a “grudge” over the comment. While the comments were not intended to be offensive, the princess was already “overwhelmed” at that time. But now Meghan Markle has demonstrated that everything is well between the ladies by attending Katy Perry’s final residency event.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex boarded a private plane for the pop star’s performance earlier this week with Cameron Diaz, Benji Madden, and Zoe Saldana. The pair had a fantastic musical night at her presentation in the Resort’s World Theatre. Both of them have a knack for music and have previously attended several musical events. Markle’s most recent solo appearance was at Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated Era’s tour concert. The Duke, on the other hand, was in Tokyo, Japan, to attend the International Sports Promotion Society.
