The Royal family loves going to the theatre for a good movie. There are no popcorn, nachos, and sodas involved at the royal outings but there’s a lot of beautiful gowns that Royal ladies have worn throughout the years. The Queen was seen many times at the movie premiers, but she especially delighted the crowds when she showed up wearing a green gown for the 2000 Christmas premiere of The Grinch.
Lady Diana followed in the Queen’s path attending numerous movie opening nights around the world. The paparazzi were right there to capture her every move, from the car she drove in, to the dress, hair, shoes, and the company she was with. The younger generation of Royals, from Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to Princesses Beatrice, and Eugenie, are still very interested in attending film premieres. Without further ado, here’s the selection of photos from Royal outings.
