Meghan Markle gave DJ Idris Elba a list of songs she wanted played at her ‘stressful’ wedding reception, he reveals

IDRIS Elba has revealed that DJing at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding reception was the most “stressful” gig he has ever had.

The Luther actor, 49, provided the musical entertainment at the couple’s nuptials at Windsor in May 2018 – and says that Meg, 40, took the reins when it came to song choice.

Speaking to the Elba said: “Meghan had sent me a playlist, so I knew what she wanted already.”

Elba, who has also performed for A-listers such as Madonna, admitted that the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex was his most “high pressure gig.”

Asked which of his sets had been his most stressful, he said: “This wasn’t at the community hall — the reception, this was a big, big deal.

“They’re (Meghan and Harry) good friends and I wanted to make sure they had a great time, so there was a lot of pressure.”

The actor previously revealed that their set list included Whitney Houston’s “I Want to Dance with Somebody” and several hip hop hits.

Speaking to BBC Radio 1Xtra Idris said: “Meghan sent me a playlist with some bare tunes on it.”

He told BBC’s DJ Ace that there was some “West Coast” on the list but refused to give any further detail when he was asked what that meant.

He added: “I’m not gonna put their business out like that, that’s not fair. Ask Meghan and Harry.”

While the 46-year-old actor attended the royal couple’s nuptials, Meghan was unable to attend Idris’ wedding to Sabrina Dhowre in April 2019 because she was heavily pregnant.

However, we previously revealed that the Duchess of Sussex sent the newlyweds a £7,000 wedding gift to make up for missing his glamorous Moroccan celebrations.

Harry and Meghan gave the couple a Connor Brothers painting of a glamorous woman from the 50s, .

It was imprinted with the words “Why fit in when you were born to stand out?”

In other royal news, Piers Morgan has demanded that Meghan be stripped of her Duchess title after cold-calling politicians.

And the Duchess was brutally mocked by US senator.

Plus the Queen has been spotted smiling on a drive to Sandringham after being told to rest.
