Naomie Harris & Idris Elba: 'Mandela' Royal Premiere Amid Nelson's Death

Naomie Harris and Idris Elba hit the red carpet at the Royal Film Performance of their new movie Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom on Thursday (December 5) in London, England.

The 37-year-old actress and the 41-year-old actor had the opportunity to meet Prince William and Duchess Kate at the event that evening.

Shortly after the premiere began, news broke that the film’s real life subject Nelson Mandela had passed away that day at the age of 95 following an illness he had been battling for many months.
