Prince William and Kate Middleton attended the world premiere of Tom Cruise’s film Digger at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square theatre in central London. The event was held to raise funds for The Film and TV Charity. During the red carpet, Cruise was seen helping Kate down the stairs, and the pair were spotted holding hands with the actor. Kate wore a dramatic purple floor-sweeping dress by Jenny Packham, paired with Diana, Princess of Wales’s earrings and the Queen Mother’s amethyst sautoir necklace. Cruise complimented William on his tuxedo, specifically noting "great jacket" as William wore a striking double-breasted velvet jacket and bow tie. William joked about their previous meeting, referencing the time Cruise was in a helmet and flying suit.
The film Digger is a satirical black comedy that follows a powerful oil tycoon who attempts to prove he is humanity’s savior after his company causes a global environmental disaster. Some fans have speculated that the film may include musical elements, though this has not been officially confirmed. The premiere was attended by several high-profile guests, including Sir David Beckham, who is friends with Cruise, and his sons Romeo and Cruz. William and Kate had previously attended the UK premiere of Cruise’s Top Gun: Maverick in Leicester Square in 2022.
In a separate development, Piers Morgan has called for Earl Spencer’s new book about Princess Diana, titled Swan Song, to be pulped due to what he claims are "inaccuracies." Morgan told The Sun that the book should be destroyed because it contains "total invention." He specifically criticized Spencer for incorrectly stating that he worked at the Daily Mirror in 1993, when he actually joined the newspaper in 1995. Earl Spencer issued an apology for the error, clarifying that he had made a mistake in the book. He emphasized the importance of historical accuracy and expressed regret for the inaccuracy.
Morgan continued his criticism, stating that he is pursuing legal action against Earl Spencer and his publisher, Penguin, to have the "defamatory lies" removed and to seek damages for the King’s Trust. The legal battle highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding the portrayal of historical events and the responsibility of authors to ensure factual accuracy in their works.
