King Charles, Princess Anne and Prince William exclusively helm the ceremonies, handing out knighthoods, damehoods and other recognitions after lists of honorees are announced twice a year. 

Idris has been championed for his community empowerment and devotion to educational projects. 

He founded the Elba Hope Foundation in 2022, which promotes grassroots action and sustainable development. 

The star is no stranger to royal accolades, having received a grant from the Prince’s Trust (now King’s Trust) at the age of 18 to attend the National Youth Music Theatre.
