Prince Harry skips Coronation concert and avoids awkward run in with Katy Perry

Prince Harry's plans to ditch King Charles' Coronation concert means he will also avoid an awkward run in with Katy Perry who is set to perform at the gig. The Duke of Sussex will be present at the official crowning ceremony but has told his father he will not be staying for the weekend of celebrations afterwards.

After the Coronation ceremony on May 6, Harry is arranging to hurry back home to California to be with his wife Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, the Mirror reports. The Duke will miss his son's fourth birthday, which falls on the same day as the Coronation, and will likely be eager to return home as soon as possible to celebrate.

Harry will also not get to see the highly anticipated musical extravaganza on May 7 at Windsor Castle but, fortunately for him, this means there won't be any awkward encounters with pop singer Katy Perry. Katy has previously made it very clear that she is a fan of the Prince and once made some very flirty comments on the Graham Norton Show.
