KEY POINTS
- DJ takes initiative outside Brixton underground radio station Reprezent 107.3FM
- "At the very least, this is a lesson to anyone that you need to #shootyourshot."
A London DJ who slipped Prince Harry his business card has become an unlikely internet hero.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were touring Brixton in south London during their first royal engagement of the year and arrived at Reprezent 107.3FM, a 24-hour underground radio station, to a warm welcome from nearby residents.
Jevanni Letford, 33, was seen handing the card to the amused royal as dozens of people gathered outside the station to get a glimpse of the pair.
Letford posted footage of the exchange to Twitter and viewers have praised his bold act of self-promotion.
