King Charles III Meets Sir Idris Elba for Musical Theatre Workshops

From Headtopics

King Charles III met Sir Idris Elba for the second time in three days this morning as they joined students taking part in musical theatre workshops. The monarch went on a trip to the Other Palace Theatre in London with the Luther actor to mark the 50th anniversary of the National Youth Music Theatre (NYMT). Sir Idris, 53, used a grant from the Prince's Trust - now the King's Trust - to attend NYMT aged 18 before rising to become one of Britain's most famous stars. Today, they met students taking part in workshops at the Off West End venue, designed to give young people opportunities and experiences in musical theatre. The King and Sir Idris also met some of NYMT's most experienced young performers, who are now receiving training at drama schools or working professionally.
