Kate Middleton Wears Special Royal Jewel as She Glides Into Digger Premiere in Floor-Skimming Gown
On Tuesday, September 22, 2026, Prince William and the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, attended the world premiere of 'Digger' at the ODEON Luxe in London, joining lead actor Tom Cruise on the red carpet.
Tuesday's premiere marked the 73rd Royal Film Performance, a flagship fundraiser supporting the U.K.'s Film and TV Charity, which provides mental wellbeing and financial resources to industry workers.
Middleton wore a purple Jenny Packham gown accessorized with the Queen Mother's amethyst sautoir necklace and Princess Diana's Collingwood pearl drop earrings, a 103-year-old pendant previously worn by Queen Camilla in 2012.
The event reunited Cruise with the royal couple, whom he previously met in 2022; he told reporters, "I just love them. They are lovely people and I have great respect for them."
Directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, 'Digger' is a satirical comedy starring Cruise as an oil tycoon, featuring Sandra Hüller and John Goodman, and is set for worldwide release on October 2.
For the world premiere of Digger in London, the princes of Wales joined Tom Cruise -- and the princess went to the garrison for a truce between Spencer and Windsor in tense times.
