Tom Cruise has met the royal couple before
The Digger premiere was not the first time Cruise had shared a red carpet with William and Catherine.
The trio previously met at the UK premiere of Top Gun: Maverick in May 2022, when the royal couple attended the event alongside Cruise and members of the film’s cast.

Their latest reunion therefore marked a return to a familiar Hollywood-and-royal pairing, four years after their previous movie premiere appearance.
William and Catherine joined the Digger premiere
William and Catherine attended the Royal Film Performance of Digger at London's ODEON Luxe Leicester Square on September 22.
The event marked the 73rd Royal Film Performance and was held in support of the UK’s Film and TV Charity. The couple met Cruise, director Alejandro G. Iñárritu and other members of the cast and creative team during the evening.

Catherine also drew attention for her red-carpet look, wearing a plum Jenny Packham gown with the Queen Mother’s Amethyst Sautoir Necklace and pearl earrings that previously belonged to Princess Diana.
For Cruise, however, the evening appears to have been memorable for another reason. Speaking days later, he made clear that his latest reunion with the Prince and Princess of Wales was one he thoroughly enjoyed.
