Her run-in with King Charles III and Queen Camilla after the coronation concert isn’t the only funny thing that happened to Katy Perry while she was attending the coronation events. At the coronation itself, Perry struggled to find where to sit. A video of Perry’s very confused moment went viral on X, formerly known as Twitter. While speaking with Jimmy Kimmel, Perry explained she was trying to find her seat and said that except for the front two rows, “There’s no assigned seating! Which was kind of interesting.”
The king and Perry had actually met years before the coronation. Before he was King Charles, the then-prince co-founded the British Asian Trust. He and Perry had met at an event for the group in 2019. The year after, Charles chose Perry to be an ambassador for the organization “specifically to support our work reducing child trafficking and abuse across India over the next five years” (via British Asian Trust).
Following the announcement that she was performing at the coronation concert, the “Dark Horse” singer told Extra about how she and Charles knew each other through the British Asian Trust. “He asked me to sing and it all aligned,” Perry said. “I’m really excited … I might be posting a lot because I’m gonna be in a castle, for real. This is wild.”
