After receiving her invitation Katy revealed to Extra: "They said I was allowed to stay at Windsor Castle, which I’m really excited for.”

“I might be posting a lot because I'm gonna be in a castle, for real. This is wild."

There are plenty of rooms for the California Girls singer to choose from. According to Historic Cornwall the castle has 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices, 78 bathrooms, 52 royal and guest rooms, and 19 state rooms.  

William the Conqueror began building in 1070 and took over 16 years to complete.

Since it was built Windsor Castle has been home to Henry I, Henry II, Henry III & Edward III. Queen Elizabeth II had a special relationship with the Castle and often stayed there. 

It was also the wedding venue for Prince Harry and Meghan, Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank and King Charles and Camilla.

It would appear Katy would be the first celebrity to actually stay at the tourist attraction. Let's hope she hasn’t been confused and is actually staying at Windsor Castle and not The Castle Hotel down the road.
