EXCLUSIVE: Radio presenter Melvin Odoom had an unlikely encounter with several royals at an event where he was DJing.

Melvin Odoom previously spoke exclusively to Express.co.uk about some stern warnings he received ahead of DJing a sophisticated charity event that had multiple royals in attendance.

The star was previously a celebrity ambassador for The Prince’s Trust charity, which is involved with helping young adults transform their lives.

Melvin described how, despite prior warnings, he had unexpected encounters with Princess Kate and Prince Harry at the event where Prince William was also in attendance.

The former Strictly Come Dancing star recalled his eventful DJ set for a charity event that happened a few years ago.

“I was doing a charity do for William and Kate and it was for various mental health charities,” Melvin explained.

He then remembered that he was warned: “‘Melvin, you’re only going to really get to meet either Will or Kate at most, because one of them will be in one room and the other will be in another room’.

He continued: “So I was in this room and they were like, ‘Melvin, make sure all the music is clean. No swearing. Make sure it’s all commercial stuff.’ So I was like, cool.”

However, Melvin ended up getting more face time with the royals than he had bargained for.

“I was just there concentrating on my set,” he recalled. “And then I heard a, ‘Hello, excuse me.’ And I looked up and it was Kate.

“She was like, ‘What are you up to?’ and I was like, ‘Oh I’m just spinning, is there anything you’d like to hear?’

“She told me, ‘You know what you’re doing,’ and she shook my hand and she was just really pleasant. And then she disappeared.”

Melvin described how, later on, another surprise was in store for him at the eventful gig.

“I kind of had to finish for the evening, so I started packing up my stuff,” he said.

“And then I heard some guy go, ‘Do you take any requests mate?’ And I was like, ‘What?’

“I looked up and it was Harry! I didn’t even know he was there! He was hilarious and he gave me a high five or something and then he just ran off.”

Mevlin concluded by saying he had been “really lucky to meet a lot of the royal family”, with the star also previously having met King Charles when he hosted award ceremonies for the Prince’s Trust as part of his ambassador role.
