The Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge are due to step out for a spectacular date night in London on
Thursday as they attend the screening of Top Gun: Maverick at
Leicester Square.
The royal couple will make
their way down the red carpet before meeting the star-studded cast who feature
in the film including Hollywood veteran, Tom Cruise and Divergent star
Miles Teller.
William and Kate will then cozy
up in the screening room for an exclusive look at the film, although this
may not be the first time the pair have previewed the exciting new
blockbuster.
According to the Sun, the
Duke and Duchess already enjoyed a sneak peek of the movie two weeks ago, after
they snuck out on a secret date night arranged by none other than the leading
man himself, Tom.
