Ariana Grande is set to meet with a senior member of the Royal Family this week.
The pop superstar, 29, is currently in London filming the movie adaptation of the musical Wicked, where she will portray Glinda the Good opposite Tony and Grammy Award winner Cynthia Erivo.
The film will be split into two parts, with the first of those set for release at Christmas 2024 and the second part coming out the following festive period.
Jon M. Chu, the mastermind behind Crazy Rich Asians, will direct the two-movie project with Jurassic Park star Jeff Goldblum and recent Golden Globe winner Michelle Yeoh also part of the cast.

The cast will have a Royal visitor this week as Prince Edward is expected to tour the set.
A film insider told The Sun : "Edward’s visit has been kept under wraps. He’d been invited as a guest of honour, and now he is going to actually meet some of the stars, including Ariana."
Meanwhile, he King and Queen's aides are currently compiling a list of artists for the Coronation, which will take place on Saturday, May 6.
The event at Westminster Abbey will be filled with royal tradition, with both Charles and Camilla wearing priceless crowns covered in jewels worth millions of pounds.
Members of the Royal Family, including the Prince and Princess of Wales and Prince George, are set to have starring roles.
The royal family is releasing regular updates on the plans, however, there is still much we don't know including the guestlist. There is also much debate about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 's invitation.
Harry and Meghan confirmed in earlier this month that they have been invited to the Coronation.

A spokesman for the couple said: "I can confirm The Duke has recently received email correspondence from His Majesty's office regarding the coronation.
"An immediate decision on whether The Duke and Duchess will attend will not be disclosed by us at this time."
The May 6 date has also raised eyebrows with some fans as it clashes with the birthday of Meghan and Harry's son, Archie. The little royal will be turning four that day.
