Idris Elba returns as an alum to support young talent

Earlier the King joined Idris Elba for National Youth Music Theatre events. Elba, who used a grant from the former Prince's Trust at 18 to attend NYMT, met students in workshops, watched performances and posed for photos with participants.

Light moments and heartfelt reflections

At the palace party a playful scene saw Elba and Christian St. Louis testing the King’s turntable skills, prompting laughter when a beat sounded after the King pressed a button. In speeches the King reflected on five decades of investment in young people, calling it a proud moment and praising a "virtuous circle" of past beneficiaries supporting the next generation, while acknowledging he "won't see the long-distance future."
