There were a lot of A-list celebrities at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s May 2018 royal wedding, but only Idris Elba had the honor of acting as DJ for the couple’s reception. This week, in a new interview, the actor revealed how he ended up with the once-in-a-lifetime gig.
“Harry and I, we’ve hung out a couple of times through his dad,” Elba, who hails from London, said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Wednesday, February 27. “His dad’s charity The Prince’s Trust helped me out as a young actor. So I do a lot of work with them and met Harry and William a few times.”
