King Charles Jokes About DJing at Palace Garden Party, Says Sir Idris Elba
King Charles III attended a Buckingham Palace garden party to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the King’s Trust, a youth charity he founded in 1976. The event featured numerous celebrity ambassadors, including Sir Idris Elba, Dame Helen Mirren, Damian Lewis, Ant and Dec, and Holly Willoughby. During the reception, which took place despite heavy rain, the King interacted with young beneficiaries and alumni supported by the charity. Sir Idris Elba, an alumnus of the Trust, recounted a humorous exchange where the King joked about DJing at the event before pressing play on the decks alongside young DJ Christian St Louis. Elba quipped that while the King performed the hardest part of DJing, he did not stay long for the electronic music. The celebration also highlighted personal success stories, such as Darnell Allman-Smith, who credited the Trust’s media course with helping him overcome depression and social anxiety. The King was presented with a yearbook documenting the charity's impact, underscoring the organization's continued commitment to empowering young people across the UK.
