INTERNATIONAL: Britain’s Duchess of Cambridge sparkled on Tuesday night as she joined her husband, Prince William, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall for the world premiere of the Covid-delayed Bond movie, “No Time To Die” at the Royal Albert Hall in London. William and Kate arrived first at the premiere and were driven down the red carpet in a fleet of Range Rovers past one of the famous Aston Martin cars from the film, all while being waved on by a packed crowd outside the historic venue.

Later in the evening, stars of the film including Daniel Craig, spent time with members of the royal family before Kate, William, Charles and Camilla took their seats in the royal box. Royal sources said the outing of Charles, Camilla, William and Kate could herald a 'new era' of collaboration and solidarity between the future king and his eldest son.

Charles and Camilla attended the world premiere of the 23rd Bond film, “Skyfall” in 2012 while William and Kate attended the star-studded world premiere for the last Bond film, “Spectre” in 2015, when they were joined by Prince Harry.

As part of the star-studded event, funds were raised for charities supporting serving and former members of the three intelligence agencies - the Secret Intelligence Service, the Security Service and GCHQ - as well as charities supporting past and present members of the UK Special Forces. Hundreds of healthcare workers and members of the armed forces also joined the royals in the auditorium to watch the film, as a thank you for their work during the pandemic.

The highly anticipated “No Time To Die” is the 25th Bond film and the fifth and final one to star Craig as James Bond. It faced more than a year of delays due to the Covid-19 outbreak, but is being released in UK cinemas on Thursday.
