Tom Cruise was fascinated by Kate Middleton's elegance and charisma during the premiere of his film Digger in London, and his compliments are now fueling rumors of alleged discomfort from Prince William.
The actor accompanied the Princess of Wales down the event stairs and praised her beauty in front of the cameras. However, the claim that William reacted with jealousy comes from anonymous sources cited by Radar Online and has not been independently confirmed.
The moment occurred on September 22, 2026, when William and Kate attended the world premiere of Digger at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square cinema. For the occasion, the princess wore a purple Jenny Packham dress and the Queen Mother's amethyst necklace, a historic jewel that complemented her outfit.
Their meeting with Cruise caught the attention of photographers, especially when the Mission: Impossible star offered her his hand to help her down the stairs and didn't let go.

What did Tom Cruise say about Kate Middleton?
The American actor did not hold back with praise when speaking about the princess. He highlighted her sense of humor, intelligence, and personality, in addition to describing the royal couple as charismatic and elegant. Regarding the purple dress that Kate chose for the occasion, Cruise was emphatic: he thought it was spectacular.
But the comment that drew the most attention was directed at William. Cruise congratulated him on his marriage to Kate and told him, with a smile, that he had made a good choice.
The remark sparked commentary due to the enthusiastic way the actor referred to the princess, although the public exchange does not prove that there is any conflict between the two men.
Is William jealous of the attention Kate receives from Tom Cruise?
According to a source cited by the American media outlet, Prince William may have felt annoyed seeing the attention Cruise devoted to his wife during the premiere.
The publication even asserts that the scene in which the actor took the hand of Kate Middleton contributed to the alleged tension.
The outlet quoted: “Tom lights up completely when he’s around Kate. He thinks she is beautiful, charming, and incredibly impressive. It’s not that he’s trying to take her away from William. He’s simply dazzled by her, like everyone else.”
The encounter was not the first between the Hollywood star and the Prince and Princess of Wales. In May 2022, during the British premiere of Top Gun: Maverick, Cruise also offered his hand to Kate to help her up some stairs. Since then, the actor has crossed paths with the couple at other events, including Wimbledon, where they shared space in the royal box.
The relationship between Cruise and the British royal family goes back years. The actor has participated in events linked to the monarchy and has publicly expressed his admiration for William and Kate.
