US Pop star Katy Perry has expressed her excitement about staying in Windsor Castle ahead of her performance at King Charles III’s coronation.  

During a recent an interview with Extra on Monday, the 38-year-old singer spoke about her upcoming performance at the coronation concert next month, before revealing that, when the royal family first invited her to the event, they also invited her to stay at the royal residence in Windsor.  

Perry  said “ The royal family said I was allowed to stay in Windsor Castle, which I’m really excited about. She went on to say “I might be posting a lot [on social media]. Cause I’m going to be in a castle for real, this is wild!”  

The “Roar” singer also reflected on the reaction she’d had upon seeing her invite to the coronation for the first time. “It was very regal. It was like a cursive I have never seen,” she said. “I loved it. It was beautiful.”  

After Perry noted that it’s an “honour” to be singing at the concert, she also spoke about her work with Charles, as she’s an ambassador for his charity, The British Asian Trust. Founded by the King in 2007, the British Asian Trust is a “diaspora-led international development organisation, delivering high-quality programmes in South Asia”, according to the organisation’s official website.

Charles and Perry first met back in 2019 at an advisory board meeting with the British Asian Trust in Mumbai, according to the royal’s former deputy private secretary, Scott Furssedonn-Wood. 

In a Twitter post shared earlier this month, the ex-royal household employee recalled their meeting, writing: “I was with the King in Mumbai in 2019 when he first met her. I had told him how much my kids loved her.
