Lionel Richie opens up on a side of King Charles' personality 'no one knows about'

Lionel Richie has branded King Charles III a "secret comedian", with the American Idol judge and beloved singer spilling on the monarch's "amazing sense of humour".

The 73-year-old Motown icon has opened up in a new interview about what it was like to perform at the King of England's Coronation concert, with him revealing rare insights into his chats with the King.
