Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (born October 25, 1984), known professionally as Katy Perry, is an American singer, songwriter, and television judge. After singing in church during her childhood, she pursued a career in gospel music as a teenager.
Perry signed with Red Hill Records and released her debut studio album Katy Hudson under her birth name in 2001, which was commercially unsuccessful. She moved to Los Angeles the following year to venture into secular music after Red Hill ceased operations and she subsequently began working with producers Glen Ballard, Dr. Luke, and Max Martin.
After adopting the stage name Katy Perry and being dropped by The Island Def Jam Music Group and Columbia Records, she signed a recording contract with Capitol Records in April 2007.
The Duke of Sussex has arrived at Westminster Abbey for the coronation of his father, King Charles III. Prince Harry is no longer an official working royal and is not responsible for any duties during the ceremony.
Harry arrived alongside the Duke of York and the Princess Royal. The ceremony will start at 11am with around 2,000 guests witnessing the coronation of King Charles and Camilla, the Queen Consort.
After the ceremony there will be a procession behind the Gold State Coach, carrying the newly crowned King and Queen from Westminster Abbey back to Buckingham Palace, but there are no plans for Harry to participate in it.
Harry’s brother, Prince William, the heir to the throne, and his eldest son George have been given official roles in the ceremony.
