Hollywood icon Tom Cruise demonstrated his support and concern for Catherine, Princess of Wales, during a surprise encounter with Prince William at a charity gala in London.
The event, hosted by London's Air Ambulance Charity on February 8th, marked Prince William's first public appearance since his wife, Princess Kate, underwent planned abdominal surgery on January 16th.
During their interaction, Cruise reportedly inquired about the health of King Charles and Kate, offering his best wishes to the royal family, according to insiders.
Following the meeting, official accounts of The Prince and Princess of Wales shared a photo of William and Tom Cruise, both elegantly attired in tuxedos and black bow ties.
At the gala, Prince William expressed appreciation for the supportive messages received for Catherine and his father, particularly during recent challenges. He lightheartedly remarked on the medical focus of recent weeks, joking about attending the air ambulance function to "get away from it all."
The prince also playfully addressed Tom Cruise's adventurous reputation, humorously requesting that the actor refrain from borrowing the new helicopters for any upcoming Mission Impossible missions.
It's worth noting that at the 2022 Top Gun: Maverick premiere, Tom Cruise's gallant gesture towards Princess Kate, where he assisted her as she ascended a staircase, subtly diverged from royal protocol.
