The two royal couples met director Cary Joji Fukunaga and cast including Daniel Craig, Rami Malek, Léa Seydoux, and Lashana Lynch, screenwriters including Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and “No Time To Die” performers Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell.

The highly anticipated No Time To Die is the 25th Bond film and fifth and final movie featuring 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 September 30.

In 2019, The Prince of Wales visited the set of the movie as the patron of BFI and met with the BFI apprentices, who worked on the latest addition to the longest-running franchise of all time.

An interesting flashback to the memories from The Daily Mirror,

For William, watching spies in action is nothing new – as he once went undercover during a work experience placement at the UK’s intelligence services. Back in 2019, it was revealed he had spent three weeks with teams at MI6, the UK’s Secret Intelligence Service which in the film world employs 007, ­currently played by Daniel Craig. He also had a stint with the Security Service MI5 and the ­listening outpost GCHQ.

During that time he watched top-secret missions being carried out against Islamic State terrorists. At the time, senior royal sources told the Mirror: “Prince William was exposed to the full range of counter-terrorism operations, from working with the Islamist counter-terror teams, the threat of the Far Right in Britain, the Real IRA and even our old Cold War enemies.

“The experience gave him a unique insight into the threat to Britain and the British people.” senior intelligence source said: “William ­impressed everyone. He has a deep interest and understanding of the work done by all three agencies.”

This was not the first Bond Premiere for the Royal Couple. They attended the premiere of Spectre in 2015 where The Duchess of Cambridge wore a gorgeous Jenny Packham Gown.
