The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joined the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall for the glittering world premiere of James Bond: No Time To Die at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
It’s the red carpet moment we’ve been waiting for and the royals didn’t disappoint, with the Duchesses wowing in evening dresses, while the Princes donned tuxedos.
Kate looked stunning in a gold glittery dress by Jenny Packham, with her hair in a gorgeous updo.
Meanwhile, Camilla was elegant in a pale blue sparkly gown by Bruce Oldfield.
A number of health care workers and members of the armed forces were invited to the premiere to celebrate and thank them for their extraordinary contribution to the nation’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The world premiere benefited charities supporting serving and former members of the three intelligence agencies (the Secret Intelligence Service, the Security Service and GCHQ). The evening will also assist charities supporting past and present members of the United Kingdom Special Forces.
A royal date night! William and Kate beamed as they arrived on the red carpet.

Prince Charles spoke with siblings Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell, who wrote and recorded the movie’s theme song, No Time To Die.
Charles is a patron of The British Film Institute, which promotes understanding of and access to film and television culture and operates a film archive. Meanwhile, Prince William has been President of The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) since February 2010.
Kate speaking with Lashana Lynch, who has made history as the first black female 007 agents in the Bond movies.
The star, who plays Nomi, looked stunning in a golden yellow gown by Vivienne Westwood for the premiere.
Lashana told PA news agency: “When I was speaking with the creators on characterising Nomi, my first thing was I wanted her to be a real woman, I wanted her to be relatable and I wanted young black girls and brown girls to see her on-screen and aspire to be something bigger than what they’ve been told by the world.
“It’s important our women with agency on the screen don’t just have a strength that comes from nowhere; there’s vulnerability, the emotions they feel just being a powerful woman at work.
“And she’s a black woman at work – there’s a whole other added layer there that’s really important for me to tell. So this narrative in a Bond movie means I’m part of an industry that is making shifts I can be proud of, proud to be involved in.”
