The most awaited British ceremony, the most royal of all; King Charles’s coronation has finally followed through and perfected the age-old tradition. King Charles III is now, by all the powers vested in the Archbishop of Canterbury, the official throne bearer. And as soon as the monarch and his Queen wrapped the pomp and grandiose of the occasion, they started making rounds around the world.

Seemingly, amongst their very first stop was the neighboring country, America. And while many may think that they heard the netizen’s advice and visited Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at their California home, it was not the case. Right from the coronation concert, the British Monarchs joined Katie Perry and Lionel Richie to make their American Idol debut. No! They did not physically go there but were very much present through the live streaming.

While the judges were boasting about the elegant ceremony, Richie told his audience that they “need to bring something different to the party.” And Perry, in sheer amazement, sided herself, as His Majesty the King and the Queen made a surprise appearance. And as you can see in the clip above, the four of them then shared a fun banter before the royals took their leave for the after-party.

King Charles also made fun of Richie, 74, asking, “How long you will be using this room for?” with a sweet smirk. He then congratulated and blessed both singers for their amazing work at the royal concert.

Yes! You heard it right. After having a cute little birthday party for her elder son, Prince Archie, along with her friends and mother, Meghan Markle appeared to spend some good time with nature. According to the entertainment outlet, People, the Duchess of Sussex, joined two of her hometown friends, Markus Anderson and Heather Dorak for a good hiking session.

The 42-year-old Duchess donned a round beige hat and sunglasses, and wrapped a coat around her waist. She also wore brown hiking shoes with royal blue nylons. Meanwhile, Prince Harry, who perhaps did not have even a word with his elder brother or father, traveled back to his wife just two hours after the coronation.
