Prince and Princess of Wales attended Tom Cruise’s London premiere of “Digger,” sharing a laugh on the black carpet and drawing media attention.
Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, attended the London premiere of Tom Cruise’s new film *Digger* on a black carpet at Leicester Square. Cruise took Catherine’s hand, and he complimented Prince William’s black velvet jacket. Catherine wore Diana’s pearl drop earrings and the late Queen Mother’s amethyst sautoir necklace, while David Beckham and his sons were also present.
The film portrays Cruise as a grey‑haired oil baron confronting an environmental crisis and is directed by Oscar‑winner Alejandro González Iñárritu. Social‑media critics have offered mixed reactions: IndieWire’s Anne Thompson called it “a brave and gorgeous art film that will not score with mainstream audiences but will play best for the Academy,” while Awards Radar’s Joey Magidson described it as “a mess” and “wasn’t enjoyable.” Full professional reviews have not yet been published.
*Digger* is scheduled for release in the United Kingdom and the United States on 2 October. The extent of critical consensus remains uncertain pending the publication of full reviews.
