It was a regal affair. Hollywood royalty and real-life princesses jostled on the purple carpet for the premiere of
The Young Victoria in Leicester Square.

Dressed in Temperley,
Princesses Eugenie and
Beatrice (who has a cameo role in the film) braved the inelegant gusts of wind and clung to their mother - who produced the film alongside, improbably,
Martin Scorsese.

After the screening,
Keira Knightley joined her leading man
Rupert Friend - he stars as Albert and she didn't want to steal his limelight - at the after-party in Kensington Palace. Also paying court were
Bill Nighy, Beatrice's beau 'Dapper Dave' Clarke and boy band Blake.
