Katy Perry, who is an official ambassador of King Charles’ British Asian Trust since 2020, will perform at the concert. “I am so grateful to get the honour because actually I am an ambassador for the British Asian Trust, which primarily focuses on ending child trafficking, which is a huge issue of our time and it just aligned with all my values,” the Firework singer said as per IANS.

Hollywood actor Tom Cruise is also expected to attend the concert. According to Variety, Cruise was earlier a guest at Princess Diana’s funeral in 1997.

The Pussycat Dolls singer Nichole Scherzinger, who reportedly participated in a pageant to honor Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee last year, will also perform at the concert. “I am incredibly honoured to be a part of such a historic event.
