Jevanni Letford was on standby for the moment of a lifetime on Tuesday when the couple visited Reprezent radio station in London's Brixton neighborhood.
As a DJ for his own company, Chicken N Beer UK, plus a presenter at the radio station Harry and Meghan were visiting, he certainly knows a thing or two when it comes to music, so naturally he offered his services as they walked by.
In the video below he can be seen shouting "DJ at your wedding!" as he passed on his card to the royal who quickly slipped it in his pocket after smiling at the opportunistic gesture.
Hope @JevanniLetford from @ReprezentRadio gets the #RoyalWedding2018 DJing gig after slipping #PrinceHarry his business card! pic.twitter.com/WHkApp79ci

The duo were at Pop Brixton to see how everything works at the only radio station in the city solely run by young people with Meghan dressing down in a top from high street store, Marks & Spencer.
Twitter loved Jevanni's boldness with the video garnering over 6,000 likes at the time of reporting. In response he's created a petition to help his dreams come true. "Whilst I await that call from @KensingtonRoyal and Prince Harry himself, I've created a little petition to help further my chances. Thanks to everyone who has shared my video, 250,000 views and counting! Didn't expect that!" He posted on Twitter on Wednesday.
Perhaps the May 19 reception could do with some hip hop and R 'n' B beats?!
I got your card. You can come DJ for me if Megs and Harry turn you down! pic.twitter.com/MVNFuD4G5p
