It is a few weeks away when we will witness one of the biggest events of the year, when King Charles III will be ceremoniously crowned as king.

The pop star is close to the family. She was featured in a video for a mental health campaign with Prince William and Prince Harry.
Recently, when asked about the opportunity to perform at King Charles III’s coronation, she said, “I’m grateful I get to go. I met His Majesty to be a few years ago and he named me as one of the ambassadors to his organization, The British Asian Trust, which is an organization that helps fight to end child trafficking.”
The ‘Roar’ singer added, “So I’m also an ambassador for UNICEF, and it really aligned with my values. That’s mostly why I’m going, to be an ambassador and to say, ‘Hey, this is me from the USA.’ No, but it’s so cool.” As per reports, Katy Perry will have an added benefit to performing at the ceremony as she will also taste royalty for a night before the May 7 performance.
