William and Kate enjoyed a
glitzy night out in the capital and judging by the future King’s comments, it
sounds like their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince
Louis were gutted to miss out.
William spoke to nine-year-old
Alfie Everett-Fletcher at the cinema, who later revealed: “He asked me
what I liked about the last one, the things I like, if I like jets and planes
and motorbikes.”
Alfie said William told him he
is a “big fan” of the film and “cars and stuff” and that
his own children were “jealous” to miss the premiere. Alfie’s mother
Elise Everett added: “He said they have had the theme tune for the film
playing with their kids.”
Outside the auditorium, Poppy
Saunders, 11, was tasked with presenting the Duchess with a bouquet of flowers.
“I gave the flowers and shook hands and she said ‘hello Poppy’. She said a
lot about how the kids love the film as well,” the young schoolgirl
revealed.
Her mother Linsay Saunders
added: “She said she liked sweet peas because there were sweet peas in the
flowers.” Ms. Saunders also said Kate told them George, Charlotte and
Louis “wished they were here tonight”.

William and Kate arrived to
cheers and flashes of cameras as they graced the red carpet in London. The
Duchess wore a glamorous Roland Mouret dress with a bardot neckline. The
dress was a black column style with a white band across the top that showed off
Kate’s collarbones. She added Robinson Pelham’s Tsar Star diamond earrings in
14ct white gold.
Although William looked
dashing in his McQueen suit, it was his shoes from C&J that grabbed
attention, as they were emblazoned with an F-15 fighter jet, like those used in
the movie.
As well as being escorted down
the red carpet by protagonist Tom, the royals also spoke to other cast members
and Hollywood stars including Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Greg Tarzan Davies,
Glen Powell, Jay Ellis, Danny Ramirez and Lewis Pullman.
