The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry have joined the stars of new James Bond film Spectre for its world premiere in London.<\/p>\n
The royal guests were met by director Sam Mendes and producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson ahead of the screening at the Royal Albert Hall.<\/p>\n
Daniel Craig, who has played 007 for a decade, was the first to arrive on the red carpet on Monday night.<\/p>\n
He told the BBC: “It’s changed my life and I’ve loved every second of it.”
\nThe star also admitted that he “hated” watching himself on screen, but said “I love playing James Bond”.<\/p>\n
Craig said Mendes was “one of the best directors there is” and that he had enjoyed being “creatively involved from the very beginning”.<\/p>\n
Other cast members on the red carpet included Naomie Harris, Christoph Waltz, Ben Whishaw, Ralph Fiennes, Andrew Scott, Dave Bautista and “Bond girls” Lea Seydoux and Monica Bellucci.<\/p>\n
Bellucci said it was a “great pleasure” to be part of the “amazing tradition” of Bond films.<\/p>\n
“It’s magic,” she said. “It’s incredible how James Bond represents so much, not just in England actually, but all over the world.”<\/p>\n
Scott, who plays a new character called Denbigh, said that the franchise had lasted so well because it kept “reinventing” itself.<\/p>\n
The Sherlock star added: “The storyline in this movie is about surveillance and how we’re watched constantly. There’s a lot of prescient subject matter in the recent Bond films.”<\/p>\n
