LA-based author Lisa Gaché told the Telegraph that Perry and her fiancé Orlando Bloom would have been invited to Archie's birthday party.
Gaché said: "In Montecito, celebrities are royalty."
She continued: "It’s Oprah and Ellen but also Serena Williams – pregnant with her second child – and Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, whose daughter Daisy is a year younger than Archie.
"If there’s any celebrity with a child the same age, it’s safe to assume they’ll be invited."
