Kate Middleton, on the red carpet hand in hand with Tom Cruise (and William steps aside)

At the London premiere of Top Gun: Maverick the prince was also in Leicester Square William And Kate Middleton. She, beautiful in her little black dress, on the red carpet looked more like a Hollywood star than a real one. And apparently she has also conquered the protagonist of the film: Tom Cruise. The actor, present at the premiere, for a few moments on the red carpet he “stole” the future king’s wife, offering her his hand, gallantly, as he climbed a flight of stairs. William just observed the scene with pursed lips, touching his bow tie. An expression that according to the body language experts interviewed by Express it means: “There are times when a man has to step aside and bite the bullet. When the iconic star of an iconic movie plays gallant with your wife, that’s one of those moments. ”

A similar thing had happened to William’s father, Charles of England, when John Travolta invited Princess Diana to dance while he stood by and watched. Kate, the body language experts continue, “judging by her smiles he seemed almost in awe of Cruise, as Diana seemed to him at the time with Travolta ». The tête-à-tête between the Hollywood star and the future queen lasted a few moments. Time to go up a flight of stairs. Then the royal couple joined Cruise and the co-stars Jennifer Connelly And Miles Teller. The photos of the gala evening (see gallery below) show, among other things, Cruise and William chatting laughing. On the other hand, the two, as he explained in the prince, have “a lot in common”: “We both love England, we are both pilots and we love to fly“. It is no coincidence that during the gala evening the queen’s nephew, helicopter pilot, paid tribute to the sequel to Top Gun showing off shoes with an airplane embroidered on them.

It is certainly not the first time that William and Kate have walked the red carpet of a film premiere. Last September for example, together with Carlo and Camilla, they had attended the launch of the latest James Bond film, No Time To Die, at the Royal Albert Hall. And even then Kate, with her glittering golden dress worthy of a Hollywood star, had conquered everyone. Tom Cruise, for his part, reunited with the members of the royal family for the second time in a few days. Last weekend he was in Windsor for the big show “A Gallop Through History»Which started the celebrations of Platinum Jubilee. And on that occasion, in his speech, a great admirer of the queen: «He met presidents, world leaders, people from all walks of life. Her dignity, her devotion and her kindness are known all over the world. I love it“.
