Windsor Castle’s decor is like the set of I Love Lucy, says Katy Perry
The interior of Windsor Castle is like the set of I Love Lucy, says the mother of Coronation concert star Katy Perry… …was that why Charles gave away the curtains?
Pop star Katy Perry and her mother spent two nights at Windsor Castle in May as a ‘thank you’ from King Charles for performing at his coronation concert.
Perry raved about her “wild sleepover” at the royal residence, but the singer’s mother has now put something of a damper on the episode by comparing the decor in the 11th-century castle to the drab furnishings of a sitcom from the 1980s. the fifties.
Mary Hudson described the interior as “I Love Lucy 1960s style” (although I Love Lucy, starring Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, actually ran from 1951 to 1957).
Last night, a Hollywood source said, “I’m not sure the king will be happy with his castle interior compared to Lucy’s, which consisted of nylon sofas, frilled lampshades and questionable wallpaper.
“The decor on the show is very dated and old-fashioned, which may be what Katy’s mom is talking about.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are neighbours.
Hudson’s harsh assessment of the furnishings in Windsor Castle may be explained by her daughter’s ultra-slick home.
Photos of the mansion’s living room posted online show modern decor with striking geometric wallpaper, sanded oak floors and a manicured lawn.
Her comment about Windsor Castle appeared in an article by columnist Richard Mineards in the local Montecito Journal.
Mary is quoted as saying, ‘We met Charles and his sister Princess Anne and they couldn’t have been more charming.

“Staying at the chateau was an honor, but the interior was in the 1960s style of I Love Lucy.”
The source added, “We think the Royals eat off silver platters and live in splendor, so the reality of looking behind the scenes is always a surprise.”
