could still be coming. royal wedding shake-up. is meghan markle's father skipping her big day after those photos that looked staged? markle's sister who has been critical of meghan, blasts the media. >> how do you have the gall to talk about media vultures? >> piers morgan takes her on. now he's live on "gma" this morning. ♪ famili-famili-famili familiar ♪ >> it's our favorite time of the year. our first party in the park kicking off live with this red hot duo. liam payne and j balvin heating up your morning and they're saying -- >> buenos dias, america. >> good morning, america. ♪ and good morning, america. not only in times square this morning, let's take a look right now at central park. everyone is getting ready for that big concert. first of the year. >> yes, they are. excited fans. you can see right there, liam payne, j balvin, our first

summer concert of the year. a lot of kids as well. school is not important this morning. >> and good thing the weather is going to hold off for the concert as well. that's all coming up. >> first, we begin with those severe storms on the move. take a look at this photo. lightning hitting the nation's capital overnight. knocking out power for tens of thousands in d.c. david kerley is in takoma park, maryland where that lightning caused some serious damage. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, robin. these were really strong storms. talking about wind, rain and lightning and you can see it struck this roof in takoma park and caused quite a fire. 70 firefighters basically had to empty out that attic so that they could get this blaze out. this is all part of a string of storms across the country. in kansas, four reported tornadoes touching down. in colorado, hail helping transform this river into rushing rapids. here in the nation's capital, all that rain creating flash floods and the severe winds more

than 60 miles an hour causing problems too. the storm whipping through neighborhoods and a tornado warning at dulles airport forcing passengers into this underground tunnel. >> wow. >> reporter: the roads in and out of the airport deluged. lightning lighting up the capitol. falling trees making roads treacherous. in reston, virginia, a tree slices right through this home. >> it's always been a fear of living in this neighborhood. >> reporter: hundreds taking shelter where they could in nearby businesses. >> got people coming into our store, in the starbucks nearby saying, like, can we just sit in here and like be safe? >> reporter: more than 100,000 without power at its peak. about two third have electricity back this morning. at this house in takoma park, maryland, more than 70 firefighters called in to help put out a blaze started by lightning, and further north in frederick a man in critical condition after his house was struck by lightning too. so not surprisingly this family

has been displaced, as can you see their attic here on the ground. one other note, michael. president trump flew to see the first lady last night. the storm was so bad he had to motorcade back to the white house. i mean, this was a lot of wind and rain. thunder throughout the night too, michael. >> thank you so much for that, david. and that severe weather is on the move this morning heading northeast. virginia, new york and massachusetts on alert. ginger has been tracking the system. good morning, ginger. >> good morning, michael. that is just the thing. we've shown you what it can do, what it already has done and where it will be today. so there's no need to duck into a starbucks because you're going to know ahead of time the area that has to look ahead. kansas, this was one of the six reported tornadoes from kansas to florida, and tornadoes could again happen today because we've got this long stationary/cold and warm front with several pulses of energy. low pressure systems and it spins in the upper atmosphere that brings a risk for northeast

pennsylvania including scranton through springfield included, hartford, connecticut and stretches down to d.c. again so damaging wind and hail but that isolated tornado possible. robin. >> all right, ginger, thank you. overseas to another day of protests along israel's border with gaza. dozens killed monday, the deadliest day there in years. a dramatic contrast to what was happening just 40 miles away as the u.s. opened its embassy in jerusalem. abc's chief foreign correspondent terry moran is in the west bank with those details. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, robin. there are clashes here on the west bank as well. i'm just about eight miles outside of jerusalem on the outskirts of the city of ramallah. this small skirmish has been going on all morning. no fatalities, but here as in every palestinian community, today there is shock, sorrow and rage at that decision by president trump to move the embassy to jerusalem. it feels for the whole region like a fateful step.

this morning, more clashes between israeli forces and palestinians. and a general strike has shut down both the west bank and gaza. these communities still seething with rage and despair over the opening of the u.s. embassy in jerusalem. it was all smiles there as first daughter ivanka trump did the honors. >> we welcome you officially and for the first time to the embassy of the united states here in jerusalem, the capital of israel. >> reporter: president trump speaking via video beaming with pride. >> our greatest hope is for peace. >> reporter: but peace seemed a pipe dream at the gaza border. an unforgettable scene there. tens of thousands of palestinians marched towards the border urged on by their leaders. israeli forces used tear gas at first, then opened fire. at least 58 palestinians were killed, at least 2,700 wounded.

jerusalem claimed by both palestinians and israelis as their capital has long been one of the most emotional issues in this conflict. the white house refusing to criticize israel at all for the violence, declaring that the bloodshed is the fault of the palestinian group hamas. >> this is a gruesome and unfortunate propaganda attempt. >> reporter: so you can see behind me here a small fire, some tear gas. earlier the israelis were firing a lot of tear gas in this direction, but the wind has shifted and so they've calmed down on that. president trump believes that moving the u.s. embassy to jerusalem will actually make peace more likely by taking the city off the table. but for the people here and for virtually every single palestinian that makes no sense. they feel jerusalem is their capital as well and peace seems a long way off. robin? >> all right, terry.

everyone taking precaution there. good to see him wearing the flak jacket. >> he has to be protected. >> yes. we move on to the latest on first lady melania trump at walter reed med cal center after undergoing a surgical procedure for a kidney condition. our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega has details. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: good morning. not a lot of details so far from the white house. they refuse to say exactly what this condition is that led to the first lady's hospitalization but this morning we are now learning that this was a long planned procedure. this morning, first lady melania trump remains hospitalized in walter reed medical center. >> mr. president, how is the first lady doing? >> reporter: president trump boarding marine one late monday to pay her a visit. he wouldn't answer questions, instead tweeting successful procedure. she is in good spirits. thank you to all of the well wishers. the vice president said the first lady is recovering. >> the procedure was a success and melania is already on the mend. >> reporter: the news first came in a surprise announcement from the white house. her office saying, mrs. trump underwent a procedure for a benign kidney condition and that she will likely remain hospitalized for the rest of the week.

doctors performed an embolization, a procedure to plug up a blood vessel to stop bleeding and slow growth. president trump was not at the hospital during that procedure. instead a senior administration official tells abc news the president spoke with his wife beforehand and with her doctors immediately after. it comes as we've seen more of the usually private first lady from that state dinner last month to last week in the middle of the night she was there to welcome home those americans detained by north korea. and in the rose garden she unveiled her official policy platform, a public awareness campaign for children called be best. >> let us teach our children the difference between right and wrong and encourage them to be best in their individual paths in life. >> reporter: as she asked for kindness, the president sat right there looking on, later joining her on stage for a kiss. now in 2016 the first lady told

"gq" magazine that she lives a healthy lifestyle with food and exercise. if she remains at walter reed for the next five days as expected, george, that will be the longest hospitalization for a first lady since nancy reagan. >> oh, my goodness. cecilia, thanks very much. let's bring in our chief medical correspondent, dr. jen ashton, for more on all this. the white house says this has been long planned. what is an embolization? >> when you talk about an embolization this is not surgery but invasive procedure done with radiologists consulting with urologists and can be either elective or emergent. it selectively and strategically blocks off part of the blood supply to whatever organ being embolized to slow growth of a benign mass or some kind of vascular abnormality. >> we don't know what's going on. >> we don't and i want to be clear. to speculate or to suggest that there's something ominous when we don't know why this was done, we don't know the circumstances

that it was done. you know, patients can stay in the hospital for pain control. this can be a very painful procedure and you want to make sure renal function or kidney function is good, but to speculate or suggest anything else in my opinion is medically unprofessional and disrespectful to patient privacy. we just don't know. so we have to go by what we do know. >> don't know. we all hope she's okay. dr. jen ashton, thanks very much. >> you bet. >> we stay at the white house and more controversy now over the failure to publicly apologize for the brutish comment an aide made about john mccain. the senator's daughter meghan addressed how the white house handled it on "the view" yesterday. >> people are going to have to answer for their own conscience. when you go on tv -- i've never gone on tv and lied and when you go on tv and say things like this, your belief in right and wrong and people espouse about god and living with values and when you say things like that, it's what you're going to have to live with at this point. >> let's bring in our chief white house correspondent jon karl for more on this. and jon, the white house appears more concerned about the leak of that comment rather than the comment itself. >> reporter: extraordinary.

no concern expressed over the comment itself but a major effort here to get at whoever leaked the comment. take a look at this tweet from the president. he said the so-called leaks coming out of the white house are a massive overexaggeration but then he adds with that being said leakers and traitors -- leakers are traitors and cowards and we will find out who they are. now, keep in mind when he talks about traitors and cowards there he's talking about members of the white house staff. they are the only people that were in the meeting. you have this situation where there is essentially a witch hunt to get the leakers. kellyanne conway, senior adviser here at the white house, suggested yesterday that people could be fired over this, but no apology now a week later to john mccain. >> the president could hear about this when he heads to capitol hill meeting with republican senators. >> reporter: it's been extraordinary to see republican senators across the spectrum, george, condemn this comment and call for the white house to apologize. you have senator kennedy of

louisiana who said it was wrong, it was mean. senator portman said just out of common decency they should apologize. so the president will be lunching with republican senators and interesting to see if it comes up. >> not that hard to say i'm sorry. jon karl, thanks very much. robin. >> it is not, george. now to new concerns about that volcano in hawaii. officials warning the largest eruption yet could be coming as new cracks and lava, toxic gas and steam into the air. this footage showing just how big those cracks are and take a look at this photo. the smoke visible from the international space station. our chief national correspondent matt gutman is there on the big island for us. matt, you got a unique look above. good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning, robin. you can see the smoke and the gas rising 2,000 feet in the air and what was most surprising is that around those lava vents, it's not the actual lava killing a massive amount of vegetation. it's those noxious gases.

we also got to see it on the ground. the sound of those eruptions is deafening. and volcanologists say it will only intensify. this morning, those eruptions booming across the southern part of hawaii. in its eastward creep, the lava fountains and vents seemingly intensifying their explosions hurling lava bombs hundreds of feet into the air. we boarded a helicopter to see those four new fissures that have cracked open the earth over the past 48 hours. i see a lava explosion down there. you can see that pop of red. >> reporter: on the ground, we joined herschel hood who fled but promised his neighbors he'd come back with water. we drove through that haze of sulfur dioxide which officials fear could threaten the 50,000 people that live on this side of the island. some of the roads we saw impassable. about 400 people remain hunkered down here including his friend alan. >> alan, i got water for you.

>> reporter: as we unloaded the water for him he recounted how terrifying it had been. >> i thought my house would fall apart. >> literally shaking your house. >> oh yeah, every five seconds, boom, boom. >> when do you get some sleep? >> i haven't slept for days. >> reporter: still, like the others, he insisted on staying. but barely a thousand yards away those fissures sputtering. those explosions of gas and rock sending those boulders hundreds of feet in the air but you could also see the shock waves and the heat just radiating off the plain right there. a mandatory evacuation order remains in effect for the 2,000 residents of this part of the island. many of whom who have been out of their homes now for nearly two weeks. volcanologists tell us a big eruption at kilauea is a virtual inevitability. they say it's not likely to kill many people but it could smother much of this part of the island in ash and cause more people to lose their homes. michael.

>> thank you so much, matt, for that. we appreciate it. now we switch gears to the big decision from the supreme court striking down a federal law that basically bans most states from allowing betting on sports. abc's ryan smith is here with the details. good morning, ryan. >> reporter: good morning, michael. it's a day major sports leagues knew would eventually come. sports betting could be available in a city near you. and while some leagues are bracing for impact, others are already working with states to get their piece of the action. sports betting is big business. the american gaming association estimating americans place about $150 billion in illegal sports bets each year. >> there's going to be a shift in probably billions of dollars from the darkness into the sunlight. >> reporter: scoring in this legal victory more than a dozen states already have plans in the work toss legalize gambling on sports. in new jersey, betting could be up and running within weeks and by some estimates more than 30 states will allow sports betting within five years.

nevada which had a monopoly on gambling will now have to share the wealth. it took in a record $4.8 billion last year. the leagues had been opposed to changing the law. >> what we have always said is we need to make sure that there's a fine line between team sports gambling and the nfl. we want to protect the integrity of our game and that's the line we will always do. >> it's just amazing. i know that each league had their own policy for players when it came to gambling. but now that it's legal what are they doing to combat that? >> i think players are still going to have a tough time bidding on games because they don't want any integrity issues but these leagues are very worried about things like prop bets, betting on who gets the first free throw, the first pitch, a ball or strike. they don't want anything out there where it's something where a player might be able to manipulate the outcome and you can barely see it as a fan. so i think leagues will fight with states on that, try to make sure they're protected in terms of the integrity of the game. >> is there an absolute ban on players betting? >> there is. >> there is.

>> but there are -- that's what happened to pete rose. >> i was going to say. >> didn't get in the hall of fame because of this. >> all-time hits leader, not in the hall of fame. >> still knew how to put the bat on the ball. >> absolutely. >> thank you, ryan. back to ginger. we have to talk about the unsettled weather in florida. the image from yesterday. loxahatchee. 75 to 80-mile-per-hour winds and extremely active as the low pressure system in the golf isn't going to become tropical doesn't look like but will drop a lot of rain from georgia through the mid-atlantic when it hits that front.

contrary to some reporting, thomas markle was not uninvited from this wedding. abc news learned meghan markle is devastated. she has been in touch with her father and she is holding out hope that he changes his mind. this morning, a royal wedding shake-up. meghan markle's father thomas has decided not to attend his daughter's upcoming nuptials. overnight thomas, who was supposed to walk meghan down the aisle when she marries prince harry in just four days, telling tmz he is suffering chest pains triggered by emotional upset and he's worried he might have a heart attack. this admission comes just hours after he allegedly admitted to staging photos taken by a paparazzo. the two seen in this video obtained by "the mail on sunday." abc news has learned meghan is devastated by the news. prince harry's bride-to-be has been in touch with her dad and is still trying to convince him to come, although it's considered unlikely that he'll change his mind. abc news has also learned meghan's mom doria is also upset about the situation and the paparazzi intrusion.

>> harry will, of course, be feeling responsible for this. he's often said in the past that anyone he brings into his life is affected by the media scrutiny and attention that he has suffered since the day he was born and he'll, of course, be feeling that with the attention on meghan's father right now. >> reporter: tmz says the elder markle told them over the last year he's been ambushed by paparazzi shooting him in an unflattering light making him look disheveled and reclusive. he says he regrets the new pictures, reportedly describing them as stupid and hammy. >> i have to say i am entirely the culprit. >> reporter: all of this as meghan's estranged half-sister samantha is speaking out to itv. >> i merely wanted him to be seen in a respectable light. i didn't feel that was being done. so i suggested that, you know, the photographers show him as he is, doing positive things. >> reporter: it was always a big

request from meghan in the first place to ask her dad to walk her down the aisle considering his many health problems, his reclusivity. it was expected, should he not be able to fulfill them, her mother would step in and walk her down the aisle or even a close friend. in a rare move a spokesman from kensington palace asking for understanding in the difficult situation. michael, this morning she remains devoted to her father. she's still trying to convince him along with many others to make it to the wedding. michael. >> all right, thank you so much, paula. we're going to bring in piers morgan, editor at large for dailymail.com and he'll join us from london. piers, you had a chance to spend time with meghan in the past. how do you think it's affecting her? >> i would imagine, michael, like any bride-to-be this is the absolutely worst possible news, isn't it? her own father who was supposed to walk her down the aisle and be watched by a billion people around the world is now not going to get on a plane and be there. i imagine she's utterly devastated. >> i can imagine that as well.

and, you know, her sister samantha has taken blame for those paparazzi photos of her father. you actually spoke with her sister this morning on "good morning britain." you had harsh words for her. we're going to take a look at that. >> he wanted to say no. they have an obligation, an ethical obligation to allow me to be portrayed as i am living a healthy lifestyle, not caught in unflattering positions as media vultures had done. >> there's no bigger media vulture with this wedding than you, is there, ms. markle? how do you have the gall to come on here and talk about media vultures? you've just -- you're doing a book called "the diary of princess pushy sister." >> piers, you're never one to mince your words. do you think her sister has changed the tone of the wedding at all? >> i think the sister is making it worse every time she opens her mouth, to be honest with you. you can't choose your family, i know that. but meghan markle's been

particularly unlucky in having endless siblings coming forward to be incredibly derogatory about her and just blatantly rude, calling her narcissistic and on the make and, you know, all these sort of things. i think they should all be quiet. you know, it's now culminated in meghan's own father taking money from a paparazzo to stage pictures to calm the world and create a false impression about him and it's all done in the week before his daughter's wedding. why don't you all just be quiet and be dignified and think about the most important person here which is not you but meghan who is about to walk down the aisle and marry a prince in this country, which is a big deal. it's why the world's media is here. >> when it comes to paparazzi, we know prince harry has a very strained relationship with the paparazzi after the death of his mother, princess diana. you've known him for a long time. you knew diana as well. how do you think he's handling all of this?

>> look, when the "the mail on sunday" newspaper dropped on sunday and had this extraordinary revelation that these pictures that we've been seeing for several weeks of thomas markle, you know, working out and looking at pictures of his daughter online in an internet cafe and looking at castles from great britain in starbucks and we were all like, isn't that sweet and then also a little bit concerned is he having his privacy invaded? well, it turns out actually he was invading his own privacy, and the difficulty here is that kensington palace, i'm sure at prince harry's own request, had been issuing strongly worded demands to the media to say leave this man alone. he doesn't want any invasion of his privacy. he wants no publicity. they will be feeling very cheated. they will be feeling very angry. and harry, who still blames the paparazzi for what he perceives to be their direct involvement in the death of his mother, he will see this as a complete

betrayal. so although people want to try and, you know, feel empathy or sympathy for thomas markle i,'m afraid i don't. i think he's behaved very stupidly, very selfishly. he's let his daughter down and if he really wants to make amends to meghan, then i suggest he stops feeling sorry for himself, he gets on a plane and he walks her down the aisle. the one thing i can tell you, michael, about my country, is we're very forgiving of people's foibles and i think what would be far more unforgivable is if he now ruins meghan's day by not turning up. >> piers, thank you so much. we appreciate that. i think we all want the same thing. want them both to be happy and have a very special day. piers, thank you for your time. we appreciate it. we'll have full coverage of the royal wedding. robin and i will be live from windsor this week, and robin and david muir are anchoring live coverage of the royal wedding on saturday. are you excited about that? >> absolutely. >> it'll start at 5:00 a.m. eastern right here on abc. >> i hope her father -- i hope it all works out. >> yeah. >> i know she wants that. >> it would be the best for all. >> it would be.

airport to have to take shelter in a tunnel. the lightning was beautiful around the capital but is also dangerous not only starting that fire here but another strike resulted in critical injuries to a man north of here when his house was struck by lightning as well. the storms also affected the president yesterday. he had flown just to walter reed hospital to see the first lady yesterday. the storms were so bad he couldn't get back in the helicopter. he had to motorcade back to the white house and, of course, more storms are coming, guys. it's going to be another crazy day of weather. >> all right. thank you. speaking of the first lady -- >> we'll get an update on her at walter reed medical center. after undergoing a surgical treatment for a kidney condition. we want to go back to cecilia vega for the details. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: george, good morning again. this was a surprise announcement from the white house and the first lady's office says that she expects to be in that hospital for the remainder of the week. they're not really saying many other details though this morning other than to say that the first lady underwent a procedure for a benign kidney

condition. doctors performed an embolization, a procedure to plug up a blood vessel and stop the bleeding and slow growth. president trump, as david kerley said, was not at the hospital during that procedure. instead a senior administration official tells abc news he spoke with the first lady beforehand and with her doctors immediately after. later he flew on marine one to pay her a visit and take a look at what he tweeted. he said successful procedure. she is in good spirits. thank you to all of the well wishers. we are now learning that this was a long-planned procedure. but, george, we are being told she is now on the mend. >> that is good news. cecilia, thanks very much. >> that is good news. coming up the royals face the fall-out with meghan markle's dad. we'll take a look back at other scandal they've faced through the years. and look who's here this morning again. there we are. >> he just got here. >> ryan reynolds is here from "deadpool."

you know, "deadpool" is -- what's great about "deadpool," "deadpool" doesn't care. the character sort of does exactly what he wants, you know, i think that's what people love. that's why audiences connect and i think they also connect because we're having so much fun on screen. we truly are. it's the role of a lifetime for me. so we're having so much fun. i think that translates to the audience. that is what's so clear throughout the movie. all of you have having fun with each other. you're having fun making fun of yourself. >> i love laughing at me. i'm deadpool's favorite target. >> tell us about how the celine dion thing happened. was this a canadian connection? >> i tried to make it a canadian connection. we had this amazing song and we had an amazing theme song are to the movie and i wanted somebody magical to sing it and dance -- >> every time i see that -- >> and, you know, we had -- the studio had incredibly talented millennial singers and i just thought let's go for a legend. let's go for somebody -- who is the last person that did the great movie music tie-in and it was celine in "titanic."

not only that, she's just the best of the best. so i wrote her a letter. i wrote two letters, one to her, one to the dalai lama. never heard back from the dalai lamb economy. somehow some way celine said yes and she said yes to a completely insane music video. >> now you have a challenge for "deadpool 3." >> the whole thing might be getting an appendix operation. i don't know what we'll do. >> you've been taking on hugh jackman as well, wolverine and we had him here last week. he had a little message for you. >> ryan, hey, buddy. how are you, mate? ryan, i love you, man. i love "deadpool." i can't wait to see the movie. you're one of my best friends. blake, the fam, the whole thing, but back it up a little. it's just -- play it -- right? play a little hard to get. it's too much. it's not sexy. am i right? it's not. sorry about that. >> good advice. >> it is.

i've been trying to get him to play wolverine again. he won't listen. he insists on singing and dancing brilliantly elsewhere. so i don't know. i'm going to have to step up my game a little and post his cell phone number online. >> it's coming next. >> game on. >> i have read you have two little girls at home. you don't want them to go into show business. >> no, no, mostly because i'm against child abuse. so show business for a little kid is -- that's a crazy pursuit, you know. acting is great. you know, go theater, school, that -- amazing. i don't know why you would put your kid in show business. it's just -- yeah. >> how about singing? let's listen. ♪ gorgeous ♪ gorgeous >> yeah. >> starring in a taylor swift album. >> well, i don't know about starring. little intro there, yeah, that was -- that was -- it was a voice memo that ended up on a song. pretty amazing.

my daughter has a really, really terrible ego problem after that song. >> starts out right at the top. >> she's insufferable. yeah, so she's in a taylor swift song. i don't know if she knows she's in a taylor swift song. >> one day she'll find out. do you get to spend a couple weeks at home with them now? >> yeah, i get a couple weeks at home. i've been all over the world, korea and europe so it's been amazing but i'm excited to just stay put for a minute, yeah. >> great to have you back here. >> always great to be back, george, thanks very much. >> back to central park in a minute.

[ cheers and applause ] welcome back to our summer concert. first though more on the royal

wedding. prince harry, meghan markle tying the knot, of course, on saturday and paula faris has been going around london checking out some of their favorite spots. good morning, paula. >> reporter: good morning to you, lara. what a scene back there in new york. and while meghan markle, the l.a. born actress, will soon permanently reside here in london, she was already spending quite a bit of time in her future home before she even met prince harry. ♪ meghan markle's new home has been one of her favorite social media hot spots for years. and one of her go-to beauty bars for r&r, the luxurious nails and brows in mayfair. the owner is meghan's personal brow stylist trusted with maintaining and shaping meghan's soon-to-be royal brows since her first visit in 2016. giving her what they call on the menu the audrey inspired by audrey hepburn.

>> she has the perfect brows. >> oh, you're a genius. we're done. i want to show you more of meghan's london. soho house is a members only private club with quite the significance to the royal lovebirds. now there's no signage, but this is soho house, the exclusive club where harry and meghan reportedly met for the first time over a blind date. the couple even allegedly signing up for an exclusive wedding list, that registry fit for a future monarch reportedly holding an array of items like these stunning crystal champagne glasses to contemporary furniture like these cinema arm chairs. and just a short ride away, i arrived at meghan markle's new home. >> we're here at kensington palace where harry proposed to meghan and where they reside with 13 other members of the royal family. the residence is home to prince william, kate and their three children in a 20-room apartment

just around the corner prince harry and meghan are nestled in a relatively modest two bedroom cottage. next door is princess eugenie who moved in just recently, along with several of the queen's cousins making it the classiest zip code in town. like a family reunion every day in kensington palace but harry and meghan's cozy cottage just 1,300 square foot compared to william and kate and the queen is expected to gift harry and meghan with new titles on their big day, and a reminder, abc, we are all over coverage of the royal wedding. michael and robin will be joining me here in the uk. they will be live on friday from windsor and catch special coverage of the big day beginning at 5:00 eastern in the morning on saturday. that is the day of the nuptials. lara, let's send it back to you. >> oh, thank you so much, paula. so fun to see it all and so fun to see robin and michael on stage with our stars. >> yeah, we are here now with liam payne and j balvin who just

kicked off our party in the park with their hit single "familiar." this is a song that just gets oo stuck in your head. it really does, and it brought you two together and i know, j, last week was your birthday, happy belated birthday. >> thank you very much. thank you. thank you. >> there's nothing -- there's nothing better than a bromance because liam posted this for you. happy birthday to my brother j balvin at the top of his game right now. i'm so happy to be a part of your success. brother, can't wait to see you in new york city, all love. >> now we're here. >> thank you. >> so how did this bromance start? >> it's a very strange story, but we have a mutual friend and we both came to a restaurant, the guy that does the salt thing and we had a pepper bae at our table which was quite funny. you have to watch out for that. there's many different types of bae and that's it. we made this song and that was

it. >> beautiful music together. >> he's a great guy. he's like a brother from another mother. >> oh. >> he's very sentimental, this one. he has a lot of feels. >> that's kind of hard to tell you two apart right now. i'm telling you. >> it's working. it's working. >> you have to ask his mum or my dad. i don't know. it's something. >> you both have so much going on. you're working on a new album and you talked about the fact that you've been doing this since your early teens and talked about what it's like to be back on the stage now after taking a bit of a break? >> it's been amazing. i took a little bit of time for myself. i'm repeating the words of my song which is hilarious. it's nice. i miss being with the boys. that was so much fun. [ cheers and applause ] >> sure. >> we love the boys. but i'm sure there's time for that to come back around and my thing is the more success we have on our own the more success we'll have together in the future because we're like the avengers. >> you're like the avengers. >> we're like the avengers. if you want spider-man to sort

it out, he sorts it out, but hulk will go, well, i'll sort this out. >> you've been busy and performed for the queen at the commonwealth day. and we have the royal wedding coming up. so i want to ask you, if you could perform at harry and meghan's wedding what song would you perform? >> i mean, there might be something on my album but i don't think "strip that down" or "bedroom floor" would be appropriate for those moments. ♪ >> j, you got good music out as well, dropping a new one at the end of the month. >> yes. >> you'll be on tour in september. [ cheers and applause ] number two spotify global artist. >> congrats. >> you said you've had some -- jay-z inspired you a little bit. >> of course, i just met him at coachella a couple of weeks ago. >> yeah, you did. >> i was doing the show with beyonce, thank god. thank you to the queen. what's up, queen? yeah, of course, i got inspired by jay-z and, you know, we on the way. we on the way. we're an up and coming artist. >> you're there, baby. you're there.
