Prince Harry & Meghan went to Katy Perry’s final concert of her Vegas residency

It’s truly the funniest thing when fans and supporters of the Duchess of Sussex convince themselves that someone has done wrong by Meghan. We (because I’m including myself here) are all like “this person sucks, they’re canceled, we hate them now!” And then months later, Meghan or Harry will say or do something in defense of that person and the Sussex Squad is left holding the proverbial bag. It’s incredibly funny because it’s happened several times now. It just happened again this weekend.

On Saturday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex turned up in Las Vegas. They turned up at Resorts World Las Vegas, all to watch Katy Perry’s final concert of her Vegas residency. Harry and Meghan were seated in the VIP section with Celine Dion (the de facto first lady of Canada), Misha Nonoo and her husband Mike. Orlando Bloom and Daisy were also there. When the people in the audience realized that Harry and Meghan were in attendance, everyone stood up to gawk at them and take photos:

So, this is hilarious for many reasons. Katy has said some sh-t about Meghan, especially just after the Sussexes’ 2018 wedding. Katy criticized Meghan’s wedding dress and said Meghan needed another fitting. Reportedly, Meghan held a grudge, although those reports came from tabloid sources. Now, Harry and Orlando Bloom have mentioned that they’re friendly, and they’re all neighbors in the Santa Barbara area. Adding to all of that, Katy was the headliner of King Charles’s coronation concert, and she even agreed to a very stupid American Idol bit with Charles and Camilla. Katy definitely cozied up to the “white royals” while talking some sh-t about Meghan. And yet. LOL, Harry and Meg are so forgiving.

    I just love that they’re just living their lives, going to concerts, taking the kids trick or treating. Doing their work and enjoying their lives.

    Once heard David Lee Roth say – you keep on raining, i’ll still be the parade.

    The Sussexes are still the parade.

    (Yeah, quoting diamond Dave is really showing my age here 🤷🏼‍♀️)

    • The David Lee Roth quote is so very appropriate. The Sussexes are living their best life and I’m happy for them. Not a fan of Katy especially after her not nice comments about the Sussexes but the Sussexes seem not to hold a grudge. So in more words from Diamond Dave “stay frosty”.

    • T-Rex says:

      Just proves that everything we read (our preferred narrative or not) is BS.

  2. Selene says:

    I think its just that Meghan doesn’t have a chip on her shoulder. She simply does as she pleases, as long as it’s not harming anyone.

  3. MacDuffer says:

    I just can’t stand Katy Perry, but that’s my opinion and I know other people like her. I hope H&M had a fun Vegas getaway weekend.

    • Digital Unicorn says:

      I like some of her music, esp her early stuff, but she’s quite an annoying personality which is why I won’t watch interviews with her.

    • Seraphina says:

      I don’t care of her much either. One or two songs and that’s it.

    • Emme says:

      Find it rich that Katie criticised the fit of Meghan’s wedding dress and then wears that gold monstrosity which highlights droopy boobs!

    • Debbie says:

      @MacDuffer: I assure you that you are not alone in your opinion of Katie Perry. I feel the same way about her too. Cannot stand her, but it’s not my money paying to see her. Also, it’s hard to hold a grudge against such a sad boob as was displayed in that gold Reynolds Wrap outfit, so I get it.

  4. Yup, Me says:

    It takes a lot of energy to track who said what about you and every little grudge that could be cultivated. People who have business to mind and things they’re passionate about don’t actually have time for that.

    That’s why the royals are constantly talked about in these mindlessly inane petty tiffs – because they aren’t doing shit else of value with their time.

  5. Rai says:

    Even though I am absolutely Squad adjacent, I never got the Katy Perry anger… the dress did look like it needed another fitting but I did not know the context of stress around the wedding and it makes sense Meghan probably lost a few pounds in the run up.

    The other things were work related and Katy doesn’t strike me as the type to fumble the bag, especially when you work for disney.

    I am always happy to see Meghan and Harry relaxed and enjoying themselves; peace really is the best revenge.

    • Jais says:

      Honestly, Katy tends to wear things fairly tight and adorned so I can see her liking a lacy dress with chest darts better. Mostly though, it just feels like a time when she could have said nothing or given a more diplomatic answer. She could have left it at needing one more fitting but then she had to add the part about Catherine winning. Which just played into the whole competition bw the duchesses thing that the tabloids were using to hurt Meghan. But at this point, it’s whatever. Clearly, Meghan isn’t bothered. She’s dancing and peaceful whether under a tree or at a concert😂

    • girl_ninja says:

      The part where she gleefully sang (or tried to sing) “Kate WONNNN.” in reference to Meghan’s wedding dress. It was shitty and unnecessary.

    • Tessa says:

      I did not like Kate s gown. I liked Meghan s.

      • Dee says:

        CopyKate wore Margaret’s gown with added lace and embroidery. Meghan’s was original; the fabric wasn’t meant to be skintight on her.

    • Ginger says:

      The supporters keep saying she talked smack on Meghan a lot and I only found that she didn’t like the fit of Meghan’s dress, that’s it. The rest of the quote was complimentary of Meghan. That’s all she said on Meghan. Im not a big Katy Perry fan but I never got the hate the squad had for her either. They think that Meghan should hate her because they do, it’s weird.

      • Jais says:

        As I said above, I think it was the Catherine won part that made people side-eye. It was a juvenile comment that played into the tabloid narratives at that time. I think it’s fine if people were annoyed by that. It was annoying. Obv, Harry and Meghan are chill and don’t care and get on fine with both her and Orlando.

      • May says:

        Perry was also a big fan of Janetti, liking his Instagram posts slamming Meghan. Surely you will remember the really pissy comments about Meghan on his instagram.. Perry also went on to voice someone in the animation. Did she voice Meghan? I can’t remember but Perry has done enough things to make me side-eye her as a Meghan hating wacko.

        Regarding the dress, not everyone wants negative ease in their clothing. If you look at Audrey Hepburn in Givenchy’s similar dress there is even more ease in Audrey’s than there is in Meghan’s. Yes I think Meghan lost weight in the lead-up to the wedding but I do not think the dress looked poorly for it.

  6. Tontonbouk says:

    Well, Prince Harry fell asleep during the play show but Meghan was very much into it. She even danced to the “Roar” song. It seems that the concert was boring per a SS quad that was still pissed at KP comment on Meg wedding dress. You don’t hear it from me. Peace

  7. Cessily says:

    Katy Perry has never been my idea of a fashion expert or even someone to emulate. Love to see the Sussex’s out and having fun date nights, hope they continue for years to come.

    🥰just realized Katy and Orlando’s daughter is Daisy Bloom🌼🫠. That made me smile 😊

    • Debbie says:

      What? A woman who I believe wore an actual hamburger when it wasn’t Thanksgiving? You don’t happen to see her as a fashion plate? The Dickens, you say,

  8. s808 says:

    I wonder if Meghan even knows about the dress comment? Or remembers. If she does, she probably doesn’t care anymore. This seemed to be a big date night for H&M and their friends, I hope they had fun! The SS can still hold their grudge, I don’t blame them. I hope Meghan sees Usher next!

    • Jan says:

      Oh No Not Usher!, just saw a clip of Usher and Kendra from the Atlanta housewives, big red wouldn’t put up with Usher all over, “My Wife.

      • Ameerah M says:

        Yeah – Harry wouldn’t be down for that lol. And you KNOW Usher would be trying to push up on her during a song or try to invite her onstage.

      • BlueNailsBetty says:

        Usher should spin things and pull *Harry* onstage in a show of bromancey solidarity.

  9. Eurydice says:

    Sure, H&M seem like forgiving people, up to a point – but this doesn’t seem like the kind of situation that requires forgiveness. It’s the royal family that demands total allegiance, not H&M.

    • Saucy&Sassy says:

      Eurydice, agreed. Frankly, I think preferences when it comes to wedding dresses are expected. Not everyone likes the same thing, so I don’t think what she said was outrageous. I think WHEN it was said and all of the flack that Meghan was getting is the issue.

  10. Maxine Branch says:

    This is exactly why Harry and Meghan continues to thrive, they do not sweat the small stuff and the nonsense surrounding Katy Perry is Small stuff. When you are authentic and live a life of being fair and just, the kind of noise surrounding Perry does not bother you. Pretty sure many of the folks there feel the same way. The Sussexes had an opportunity to go to this final show, made the choice to go and Meghan and her friend Mischa was Seen rocking out. This is a great lesson in living your life on your own terms by not allowing others to decide for you.

  11. Amy Bee says:

    Still eff Katy Perry but I’m always happy to see Harry and Meghan out and enjoying themselves. This is what freedom looks like.

  12. RoRo says:

    Interestingly, Jessica Mulroney was also in Vegas this past weekend. Another friend of Meghan’s who the tabloids say she isn’t friends with, but I’ve never believed. They are totally bffs, just lay low.

    • Harla A Brazen Hussy says:

      I have to respectfully disagree, I don’t think that Jessica and Meghan are BFFs anymore and probably haven’t been for awhile. Imho, their relationship was predicated on Jessica being the more “well known and well connected” one, who took Meghan under her wing, so to speak. Now that Meghan is far and away more well known and connected than Jessica could have ever dreamed of being, I don’t think that their once close relationship survived that change in dynamic. Also, Jessica’s unhinged, racist and vile behavior towards the Canadian influencer, Sasha, probably caused Meghan to seriously reconsider her relationship with Jessica. Meghan might not have cut Jessica out of her circle immediately but slowly eased Jessica out.

    • Ameerah says:

      H&M were only there for the show and flew back to California that same night via Cameron Diaz’s and Benji Madden’s private plane. So I doubt they crossed paths.

      • Jan says:

        You know why I believe Jessica and Meghan are best buddies still, when the press was eating Meghan alive, Jessica was not a fair weather friend, she supported Meghan publicly.
        So yes Jessica said and did shit, but you think Meghan was going to drop her, you’re in for a rude awakening.
        When Sophie Trudeau was in California, I’m sure Jessica and her children were also visiting.
        Meghan knew Jessica was going through a rough time, you don’t drop friends when they’re at their lowest, you let them know you don’t agree with their views and move forward.

  13. Becks1 says:

    Sounds like a fun getaway for them. I’m sure they’ve met Katy in person many times by this point so they probably can very easily draw a line between public comments about a wedding dress and the actual person.

  14. advisor2u says:

    To me, it appears as if H&M went to the concert not as big fans, but by invitation of some/one of their friends, who are real Perry fans. Out of curtesy they went on a free weekend evening (for example, their business/investment friend Ken Griffin was their in the front, next to Harry – he is a huge Perry fan. She performed at his company’s inauguration milestone. Misha looks like a big Perry fan as well).

    All and all, the concert looked boring, so did many of the attendees. Perry’s act is outdated, lazy and childish. She stuck in time. It could never have appealed to a young, more hip hoppy audience. Still I saw lots of quite elderly/gray-haired people in that theater. Strange, all together.

    • Em says:

      They’re also neighbors and Orlando bloom could be seen chatting with Harry

      • advisor2u says:

        I wasn’t commenting on Harry and Orlando’s neighbourly relation. We’re discussing the concert giver, her Meghan controversy (reg. wedding dress comment, friendship or not), etc., which is what many here and on SM are focussing on and discussing.

      • Eurydice says:

        @advisor2u – maybe Em’s point was that Orlando invited H&M?

      • Ginger says:

        Harry and Orlando seem like friends and he voiced Harry in The Prince cartoon. He made Harry seem like an idiot and Harry seems fine with him. But Meghan has to hate Katy because she said she didint like the fit of her wedding dress.

    • Em says:

      Orlando and Katy ( concert giver) are in a relationship, they live together and have a house in montecito as well as a young child, my point about Harry chatting with Orlando is that it is possible they were invited by their neighbors (Orlando and Katy) as Meghan could be seen holding hands with Katy’s ( concert givers ) father as well.

  15. Chelsea says:

    Meghan doesn’t strike me as the type that would let some dumb comment about a dress from half a decade ago stop her from socializing with her neighbors especially if Katy apologized(and it’s worth noting that she actually did say nice things about Meghan’s humanitarian work during that same interview). Harry looked really chummy with Orlando and Katy’s dad who asked them for a picture at that Kevin Costner fundraiser last month was chatting to them as well when they were sitting in rhe VIP section so I’m guessing they were invited guests.

    Also it looks like Katy’s Montecito friends all came out to support her together as H&M traveled with Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden and Zoe Saldana and her husband and a few other folks to Vegas for the concert which is sweet. Im not the biggest Katy fan but ill take whatever Meghan content I can get. I’m hoping so bad that we get an HQ Zoe/Meghan pic. It would be everything omg

    • Eurydice says:

      Exactly. It’s not like Meghan is some delicate flower that’s only lived in a world of sweetness and light. She’s worked with lots of different people in all her endeavors – if she let every little thing bother her, she’d never get anything done.

  16. girl_ninja says:

    Katy is still tacky, whack and thirsty. But it’s lovely that Meghan and Harry had a great time. Will the BP demand that Orlando choose between his country and H&M like they do with Becks? Or has Orlando been stateside too long to care?

  17. lauren says:

    katy and orlando are social climbers and kissed the RF a**. like calls to like.

  18. Dee(2) says:

    I think they probably don’t sweat the small stuff with the real horrible behavior they have experienced from people they thought they could trust. I also think too many of Harry and Meghan’s fan/supporter’s try to live out their issues with people/entities through them even though H&M haven’t indicated they have any issue with people. It’s weird the way people will decide someone is awful because they don’t publicly support your fave in a way you find sufficient. Maybe it’s just me but I’d rather have the friend that I know I can call at 3:00 in the morning to talk about stuff, rather than the one that posts on Instagram or Twitter so that random strangers can feel that they are supportive enough.

    • Grace Yancy says:

      British singer, RITA ORA, was at the con-a-nation as well as (the main performer) at the Invictus Games.
      So what?

  19. CM says:

    I just love the reactions from the audience when they realize the Sussexes are there!

    • Jais says:

      Same. Everyone was standing to get a look with their phones out and clapping. I can’t imagine having to sit there and act natural while everyone is staring at me. They do it so well but it’s got to be weird.

  20. wordnerd says:

    THEY SAT WITH CELINE!!!! What a glorious evening that must’ve been.

  21. Amee says:

    Cue the Daily Fail comments that KP was serving as a mediator for Charles III, Team Sussex is signaling a willingness to meet up with Windsors.

  22. Anonymous says:

    Eh, they’re neighbours. It could be as simple as them being invited and deciding to go because it would make the multiple interactions in the day to day life easier. I have quite few neighbours I spend more time than I’d like because it makes things easier in the long run, but whenever I accept an invitation that I wish I could get out of it doesn’t become a trending topic or have multiples articles written about it.

    • Mary Pester says:

      Maybe it’s simply that Harry and Megan aren’t as petty as the left behind Royals, and refuse to let their lives NOW be dictated by things said and done THEN. they had a date night with friends and I’m sorry, but if anyone thinks KP will be accepted by Harry and Megan as a go between, they obviously don’t know Harry

  23. Kingston says:

    Sat. Nov 4 was H&M 6th anniversary of their engagement. So yeah, they were always gonna mark this special milestone. We dont usually see what they do to celebrate either their wedding or engagement anniversary. I’m just glad we got to see at least part of what they did on their special day.

    As can be seen from other pix, when they left the concert, they prolly went to dinner……M had her hair down and you can see her outfit a bit better that mini dress, black stockings and heels. She looked zexy as h3ll. I’m sure H was in a v-e-rry appreciative mood.

  24. sevenblue says:

    I just love that how many articles were written about Meghan going to TS concert with very vivid details (even by People) and it is the only time there is no one picture to prove it. In the video, you can see how many people were on alert that they were in the room. And, we are supposed to believe all the fanfic of how she went to TS concert, barbie movie (which are public events) in the age of smartphones.

  25. taris says:

    or, hear me out: maybe people are just so f*cking sensitive about shit, and have to overanalyse every little thing and get offended over nothing on behalf of famous people who don’t even know y’all exist.
    seriously.

    katy performing at the coronation and (gasp) simply talking to the “white” royals doesn’t mean she hates h&m ffs. harry himself was at the coronation!
    y’all know there are millions of people out there with actual lives who don’t understand why they apparently have to choose one windsor faction or the other. most people, in fact, don’t even care about royals.

  26. Ameerah M says:

    No. I hated Katy Perry long before H&M even got together. My dislike of her has nothing to do with them. They’re neighbors. And I have a feeling a lot of what Katy said is before she knew them – and because she’s also just a giant moron. LOL.

    • Jaded says:

      Me too. I’d rather stick sharp needles in my eyes than go to a Katy Perry concert but I think this was more of a social occasion with other *good* friends rather than pandering to an over-hyped, screeching talentless singer.

  27. anotherlily says:

    It is normal for a bride to lose weight before the wedding day. Sophie Rhys Jones lost lot of weight and her dress looked way too big, but in the great scheme of things, does it really matter? Her marriage to Edward has survived. Of the Queen’s four children only Edward has not been divorced. Meghan, like Sophie, looked lovely and natural.

    • May says:

      Co-sign. It is also important to remember that, while Kate lost weight as well prior to her wedding, her dress was tailored to fit the padding she wore and not her body. Hence, in Kate’s case it would have been a simple matter of adding extra padding if she lost too much weight!

  28. Milliebean says:

    I saw this show in vegas back in September- probably shittiest Concert I ever saw. All she did was yap and hardly sang…. She honestly seemed done with the whole residency thing…..my husband fell alseep in his seat at the concert…. We will never get that money back….

  29. Aidee Kay says:

    I hardly remember what Katy Perry said about Meghan’s dress except that she thought Meghan should have had one more fitting, which seems fair — it’s one person’s opinion, who cares if she thought one wedding dress fit better than another? I bet Meghan feels the same way. She doesn’t get slowed down by random passing comments people make about her fashion. Like that one journalist who asked Meghan how she was doing after The Cut interview was published (which was at least half-shady or not “getting” Meghan at all). Meghan said, “I’ll live.” She got over it fast and she gets over most things fast. She can’t hold onto to petty grudges when she and her husband are trying to protect their lives and their children’s lives from an institution that could, and may have already, tried to literally and metaphorically kill them.

    • Anonymous says:

      @aidee, Perry did not just comment on her perception of the tailoring of Meghan’s dress but she fed into the then narrative in the press pitting Kate against Meghan by declaring that KATE WON! Also, as I stated above, Perry appears to have been a huge fan, if not friend, of Janetti and liked many of his posts slamming Meghan. So, as far as I am concerned, Katy Perry is trash.

      PS, this is May, not sure why the post came up anonymous!

  30. Julianna says:

    I think Katy Perry’s comment was rude. It wasn’t the fact she spoke about the dress fitting. It was the fact she brought up Kates dress and that she “WONNNN” and how she said it. Further feeding into the media narrative between Meghan and Kate. Thats exactly what made a lot of Sussex fans side eye her. And I honestly think it was gauche and rude of her to say it as well. But good for Meghan to obviously not care what she had to say. Meghan is confident and knows her worth.

  31. L4Frimaire says:

    Perry is a vacuous person and her comment about the dress was crass and in poor taste. What will she say going forward is what will decide it. I hear her Vegas show was cute. My BIL took his kids to see it and they seemed to like it. I think so many of the hater’s get so upset to see the Sussexes out at things like this is because it shows they are very much together doing things all couples do and they are with a friend group that includes people who go way back with Meghan like her friend Misha as well as A-listers who happen to be their neighbors.

  32. Saucy&Sassy says:

    I wonder if there would be this much attention when H&M are spotted going to dinner, a concert, or taking their kids out on Halloween, if WanK were spotted doing similar things together? I think highlighting what H&M are doing just shows what WanK are NOT doing.

  33. Trishelle says:

    God forbid someone have an opinion on a dress. People need to stop manufacturing these rivalries that don’t exist. I doubt Meghan even knows about what Katy Perry said.
    Harry and Meghan went to a concert. That is it. There is no more story to it.

  34. AC says:

    Have been out of town a couple of days last week and now catching up with the blogs 😀. I never got the hate for Katy. IMO She’s prob just neutral on both sides. They’re also neighbors around the Santa Barbara area, who knows if they have already casually met. The most interesting part to me is how HM are increasingly becoming popular in the US and everyone wanting to catch a glimpse.
    Just proves those polls are 100% fake and wrong lolZ.
