Prince and Princess of Wales join Tom Cruise in glamorous red carpet appearance

The Prince and Princess of Wales stepped onto the red carpet alongside Tom Cruise this evening for the world premiere of Digger, marking a rare joint appearance at London's Odeon Luxe Leicester Square. The royal couple were greeted by the Deputy Lord Lieutenant and senior figures from the Film and TV Charity before making their way along the carpet. William and Catherine met members of the film's cast and creative team, among them the legendary Hollywood star Mr Cruise and acclaimed Mexican filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñárritu. The Warner Bros. production film was shot at Pinewood Studios, giving the occasion a distinctly British perspective. TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say William, who serves as Bafta President, has long championed the domestic cinema industry, and appeared to enjoy the night's festivities. For the occasion, the princess opted for a flowing purple gown - a bold departure from her typically neutral premiere wardrobe. Her most eye-catching choice, however, was the Queen Mother's Amethyst Sautoir Necklace, a piece seldom seen outside the royal vaults. The pearl, diamond and amethyst necklace was originally presented by Queen Alexandra to Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon on the occasion of her 1923 wedding, before she became the Queen Mother. Catherine's selection of the historic piece wowed guests and added a royal twist to the glamoures red carpet event. Such outings remain a rarity for the Princess of Wales. In recent years, she has attended the Baftas and the Royal Variety Performance twice each, appeared at the Top Gun: Maverick premiere in May 2022, and made a single visit to the Earthshot Prize ceremony.
