Kate wore a purple floor-sweeping Jenny Packham dress accessorised with Diana, Princess of Wales’s earrings.
The Prince and Princess of Wales mingled with Hollywood royalty at the world premiere of Tom Cruise’s new film Digger.
A smiling Cruise commented “great jacket” as William walked towards him wearing a tuxedo with a striking double-breasted velvet jacket and bow tie on the red carpet – which was black for the night.
Kate wore a purple floor-sweeping Jenny Packham dress accessorised with Diana, Princess of Wales’s earrings and the Queen Mother’s amethyst sautoir necklace.
The film was shown at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square theatre, central London, to raise funds for The Film and TV Charity, which works to create healthier and more supportive working environments.
Sir David Beckham, who is friends with the US actor, was among the guests with his sons Romeo and Cruz.
The royal couple attended the UK premiere of Cruise’s Top Gun: Maverick in Leicester Square in 2022.
Digger is a satirical black comedy about a powerful oil tycoon who tries to prove he is humanity’s saviour after his company triggers a global environmental disaster.
As Cruise greeted the royal couple alongside the film’s director Alejandro G Inarritu, William mentioned their previous meeting, saying “the last time he was in a helmet and flying suit”.
Cruise was also spotted holding Kate’s hand and helping her down the stairs on their way to the screen.
William and Kate briefly paused for pictures with the Beckhams before heading in to the screening.
