Katy Perry Blocks Meghan and Harry from Reception After Concert Showdown
Over the weekend, a royal controversy unfolded in Las Vegas as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made a surprise appearance at Katy Perry's final residency show.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were spotted in the VIP area, courtesy of WME, creating a buzz among the audience.
Videos circulating online captured the couple enjoying the performance from their front-row seats at the Resort's World Theatre on Saturday night, both dressed in elegant black attire.
Meghan dazzled in a sparkly, gem-encrusted outfit paired with a blazer, while Harry exuded sophistication in a well-fitted suit and matching shirt.
Among the attendees supporting Perry was her fiancé, actor Orlando Bloom, who shares a daughter with the pop star.
Sources close to Bloom revealed that neither he nor Perry were fazed by Meghan and Harry's presence, considering them insignificant guests amidst the crowd.
However, not everyone was pleased with the royal couple's unexpected appearance.
Kate Eon, a known supporter of the royal family, expressed disdain over Meghan and Harry attending the concert, labeling them as “commoners.”
Eon highlighted Meghan's alleged attention-seeking behavior and Harry's perceived discomfort, suggesting that Meghan orchestrated their attendance to garner publicity.
The tension between Meghan and Perry dates back to their time as neighbors in Montecito, with Perry previously criticizing Meghan's fashion choices and even indirectly referencing her in public statements.
The ongoing feud between the two escalated further when Meghan reportedly attempted to upstage Perry at the concert by bringing her own paparazzi, a move that did not sit well with the pop star.
As a result of the escalating drama, Katy Perry took a decisive step by blocking Meghan and Harry from joining her post-concert reception.
Perry was later seen celebrating at the XS nightclub with her husband and friends, including the Chainsmokers group, while pointedly excluding the Sussexes.
An insider revealed that Perry's decision stemmed from her displeasure at Meghan bringing paparazzi and a bodyguard to the event, viewing it as an attempt to overshadow her own spotlight.
The insider further emphasized Perry's disdain for Meghan, suggesting that the royal's reliance on attaching herself to established celebrities for attention reflected poorly on her ability to command public interest independently.
The source also criticized Meghan for allegedly being instructed by WME to engage in attention-seeking behavior at the expense of renowned figures like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and now Katy Perry.
In a surprising turn of events, even Katy Perry's father appeared to snub Meghan and Harry during the event, engaging instead in conversation with Misha Nonoo.
The incident underscored the growing rift between Meghan and various high-profile personalities, with Perry's decisive action serving as a clear message of disapproval towards the royal couple's actions.
As the controversy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Meghan will navigate future interactions within the celebrity sphere.
