Katy Perry and Lionel Richie, who were in London to perform at the coronation, interviewed King Charles and Queen Camilla on ‘American Idol.’
We already knew that Katy Perry and Lionel Richie would be replaced by Ed Sheeran and Alanis Morissette on American Idol last night, because the two Idol judges has been tapped to perform at King Charles III‘s coronation concert in London this past Sunday. But what we didn’t know was that King Charles himself, along with his wife, Queen Camilla, would actually make a surprise appearance on the May 7 episode of American Idol featuring this season’s top 8 finalists.
Not even one day into being king, and the man is already hard at work.
On last night’s episode, Idol host Ryan Seacrest announced that Perry and Richie would appear via satellite from Windsor Castle, and when they joined the show, Richie explained, “We were trying to figure out what can we do to bring something different to the show, so I would like to… uh, Katy, excuse me,” he said stumbling in fake surprise as he and Perry made room for the new king and queen to join them for a brief, slightly awkward moment of banter.
