Lionel Richie | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Katy Perry and Lionel Richie weren’t able to be on American Idol in person for this weekend’s show, however, they still make an appearance with two special guests – King Charles III and Queen Camilla!

The newly coronated monarchs popped up next to Katy and Lionel, who both performed during the Coronation Concert on Sunday night (May 7) in a special video that aired during the show.

Katy and Lionel made use of the throne room at Windsor Castle, just a few hours after their performances, with Charles and Camilla sliding into the frame.

Before thanking the two for their performances at the concert, the two royals joked with them, asking how long they were going to be using the room for.

The event will take place on May 7 at Windsor Castle with 20,000 members of the public and invited guests in attendance. Not all of the stars will appear in person.

BBC, the network producing the concert, says it “will celebrate a new chapter in the nation’s history, with themes of love, respect and optimism, celebrating the four nations, their communities and the Commonwealth.”

Lionel Richie is keeping a royal secret.

The 73-year-old American Idol judge was asked what went through his mind when he got the invitation to perform at King Charles‘ coronation.

“I’ve known King Charles for a while. You never think [that will] translate into a tight 1,800 that will be present, and he calls and says, ‘I want you there.’ The answer is, ‘I’m there. I’m there.’ I’m walking in history. This is a moment that he gets to shine. I am very happy for him and the Queen,” he said.
