Queen Camilla’s nephew has ditched traditional carols for an American hip-hop performer at a Christmas charity event.
Sir Ben Elliot, co-founder of a global luxury concierge service, has signed Philadelphia-born rapper Eve to perform at St James’s Church in Piccadilly this Christmas.
The rapper, known for her hits such as Who’s That Girl? and Let Me Blow Your Mind, lives in London with her husband and former racing driver husband, Maximillion Cooper.
The festive fundraiser aims to raise money for young people affected by poverty through the Quintessentially Foundation and its Firefly Project initiative.

Queen Camilla’s sister, Annabel Elliot, set up the Quintessentially Foundation.
The event will also feature artists such as Emeli Sande and Jack Savoretti.
Sir Ben, the former chair of the Conservative Party and son of Camilla’s sister and her late husband Simon, received a knighthood as part of Boris Johnson’s resignation honours.
He hopes the event for the foundation will attract donors, including carols, live performances, and festive readings.
