Watch: Katy Perry goes viral after struggling to find her seat at Coronation

Pop sensation Katy Perry seemed to struggle to find her seat as she attended the King’s Coronation at Westminster Abbey.

Dressed in a bespoke Vivienne Westwood lilac leatherette suit, matching opera gloves, a granny frame purse, fascinator and purple brooch, as well as Westwood’s signature pearl and diamond choker, the US singer appeared to lose her way once inside the Abbey.

A clip of Perry looking around with bewilderment and wandering between pews as she tried to find her seat went viral after being shared online.

The singer later tweeted, “Don’t worry guys I found my seat”, with her post racking up over 1.7 million views.

She also seemed to stumble later on as she left the service.

Perry is an ambassador for the British Asian Trust, a charity founded by the King when he was Prince of Wales and she is also set to perform at Sunday’s Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle.

The service was attended by over 2,000 guests with TV presenters Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, Dame Emma Thompson, Lord Lloyd-Webber, Dame Judi Dench and Stephen Fry among the celebrities who took part in the celebrations.

Australian musician Nick Cave, British Vogue’s editor-in-chief Edward Enninful, BBC director-general Tim Davie, actress Dame Joanna Lumley, TV host Jay Blades and singer Lionel Richie, also on the bill for the Coronation concert, were also on the guest list.

Coronation was ‘extraordinary occasion’

Dame Joanna described the Coronation as an “extraordinary” occasion during an interview with Sky News.

“It was just an extraordinary feeling, first of all it was a bit like a cocktail party because you seem to know everybody who’s coming in,” she said.

“The music’s playing, it’s adorable, we’re looking around.

“Then gradually it begins closing in, and it’s a bit more formal, then suddenly it’s like we’ve stepped over the threshold into a mediaeval ceremony, something so extraordinary and uplifting, very religious, it was extraordinary.”
