Before the royal couple made their debut, Ryan asked Katy and Lionel how the historic festivities were going in the UK.
"It was incredible and we're here for the coronation concert at Windsor Castle,' Katy replied and Lionel added: "Now we are trying to figure out what we can do to bring something different to the show.
"So, ...I have a surprise," he teased before King Charles, 74 and Queen Camilla, 75, walked out and joined them.
