KATY Perry and Orlando Bloom were in high spirits as they partied in Italy ahead of the wedding of Meghan Markle's close pal Misha Nonoo.

While pop star Katy and her actor fiance Orlando made the most of the occasion, Meghan and Harry kept a low profile.

The royal couple have left baby Archie at home after jetting off to Rome on a public flight after coming under fire for taking four private jets as they preached about climate change.

Bahrain-born Misha is one of Meghan’s closest friends and she was recently hired as the designer behind Meghan’s new Smart Works capsule collection.

Around 300 guests have been invited to the extravagant wedding and strong security measures have been taken to ensure privacy.
