26 Feb
Summary
- Prince William admits bias towards Tom Cruise's films.
- The royal family enjoys Top Gun: Maverick's stunts.
- William and Cruise bond over their shared love of flying.

Prince William has publicly expressed his admiration for actor Tom Cruise, even admitting a bias towards his films. During the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards, the Prince of Wales cited "Top Gun 2" as an "incredible film" and questioned why it received no awards despite its massive success. He shared that his children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, also love the stunts featured in the action movie. The connection between William and Cruise deepened after the royals attended an advance IMAX screening of "Top Gun: Maverick" in London in 2022, arranged by Cruise himself. This event was reportedly initiated after Cruise learned of the Prince's admiration for the original film and his background as a trained RAF helicopter pilot.
