King Charles teams up with Idris Elba for poignant cause ahead of major trip abroad

Luther actor Elba is a friend of Prince Harry, and even DJ'ed at his wedding to Meghan Markle in May 2018.

Enninful also has ties to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and worked closely with Meghan on her guest edit of Vogue in 2019.

He's previously slammed the institution of the British monarchy, claiming it "isn't perfect".

However, Enninful claimed King Charles could "evolve with the times" and praised him as "charming, funny and kind".

His Majesty met many business leaders from Africa today to learn about opportunities for young people ahead of his upcoming tour of Kenya.

Charles wore a sharp navy pinstripe suit today, along with an elegant pink and blue tie.

The monarch additionally opted for a silk pocket square to match.

Finally, he finished off the look with a crisp white shirt and his trademark perfectly coiffed hair.

Elba, who is friends with the King's estranged son Prince Harry, looked in great spirits today.

He could be seen speaking to everyone in attendance with a cheery smile.

King Charles and Queen Camilla will visit Kenya from October 31 to November 3, 2023.

The trip will be poignant for Charles, because it is the place where Queen Elizabeth learned her father had died in February 1952.

An insider said: "It will be a poignant moment. Inevitably it will be a reminder of his young mother at the start of her reign. Now, he is at the start of his, but he has the advantage of experience, too.

"It will also be an important marker for his reign that will underline how importantly he views the Commonwealth."
