"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.
