The King and Queen surprised American Idol viewers by making a special appearance on the show during the Coronation celebrations.
American Idol judges Lionel Richie and Katy Perry were speaking to host Ryan Seacrest via a livestream from Windsor Castle following their performance at the Coronation Concert when Charles and Camilla walked into the royal room.
Perry appeared shocked, while Richie said they were trying to figure out how to bring something different to the show and he had a surprise in store.
Charles and Camilla were dressed in navy and electric blue, respectively, and thanked the judges for their performance.
Camilla described it as “fantastic”, while Charles joked about how long they would be using the room for.
Perry asked the royals if they were making too much noise, and they shared a quiet joke together.
Richie mentioned that they heard about the party, which was taking place next door, and said that they would join in as soon as they finished their other engagements.
The episode of American Idol also featured British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, who performed the live TV debut of his song Eyes Closed from his latest album.
The surprise appearance by the King and Queen added a touch of excitement to the show and highlighted the importance of the Coronation celebrations.
The event was a significant milestone in the history of the monarchy, and it was fitting that the royals made an appearance on such a high-profile show.
The interaction between Charles, Camilla, and the judges was lighthearted and entertaining, and it showed that the royals can be down-to-earth and fun-loving despite their royal status.
