King Charles meets with Idris Elba at summit to tackle knife crime at St James's Palace
Briefly

King Charles, alongside Idris Elba and Netflix, is actively addressing knife crime in a recent initiative. During a round-table at St James's Palace, the King met with victims and youth workers, emphasizing the need for collaborative action. The discussion highlighted personal stories, including that of Kyle Shaw Tullin, who survived a knife attack. The initiative links to the King’s Trust, promoting programs that engage youth in positive activities. Elba stressed continuous effort is necessary as preparations for an upcoming national summit on knife crime unfold.
I was absolutely riveted by what Kyle said, the King told the group. The King, speaking unscripted, called for joined-up action across government, charities and local organisations.
The key is delivery, he said. How do we turn all this goodwill into real change? He praised young people using sport to stay out of trouble.
We've made progress, but we can't take our foot off the pedal. There's more to do - especially ahead of the national knife crime summit in September.
His Majesty isn't just listening - he's driving change.
