Idris Elba has revealed how he ended up DJing at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding.
The Luther star is set to play a DJ set at Coachella in April, almost one year after he performed at Harry and Meghan’s star-studded evening reception at Frogmore House in Windsor.
Speaking on The Ellen Show, Idris revealed how he got the job by explaining, “So Harry and I have hung out a couple of times through his dad’s [Prince Charles] charity – The Prince’s Trust – which helped me out when I was a young actor.”

“Harry came to a couple of parties that I DJed and he was like, ‘What are you doing on [May 19]?'”
“I told him nothing and then he asked if I would DJ at his wedding… I was like is this a joke?” he laughed.
Aside from the British royal family, Idris ended up playing tunes for some major stars on the night, including wedding guests Serena Williams and George Clooney.
