The dress, a long narrow column with black lace overlay, is weirdly reminiscent of her wedding gown, except in black obviously. The Duchess definitely has a “look” and sticks with it.
The royals, not usually in the habit of attending movie premieres, popped into this one because it was in support of Prince William and Henry’s charitable organization.
According to the Daily Mail, the movie was a tear jerker, and Steven Spielberg’s wife apparently had to hand Kate some tissues.
"It's a very prestigious honor because they represent an entirely new era in British royalty that has the entire world excited," Spielberg said. "When they came to America, that was one of the most exciting events, I think, that we've enjoyed for some time, so it's such an honor to be here in the UK to be able to meet them and to be able to show them, and all of us, 'War Horse.'"
The whole Spielberg family, in fact, did its best to make the future Queen happy; the director revealed later that he saw his wife pass Kate a tissue while she was crying during the film.
"I saw the Kleenex go across my face, arrive and stop but I didn't want to intrude on her experience watching 'War Horse' so I never glanced over," he told BBC Breakfast.
