It was a treat to see Duchess Kate, Prince William, Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla step out to the glamorous premiere of the new James Bond movie, No Time to Die.

The royals joined stars such as Daniel Craig, Rami Malek, Léa Seydoux and Lashana Lynch at Royal Albert Hall in London for the premiere.

It's not the first time the royals have mingled with the stars of the film franchise – ever since the first film was made, they've been spotted with its stars. And that makes sense, since so many of them have received knighthoods!

Scroll through the gallery – or click through, if you're on desktop – to see royals from the Queen to Kate with James Bond stars through the years!

It wasn't a Bond film premiere, but Diana shook hands with Sean at the premiere of The Hunt for Red October in 1990, and he seemed as taken with her as every single other person who ever met the late "People's Princess."

Charles and Diana loved the franchise so much that they even dropped in to see the stars on set! Here they are visiting Timothy Dalton at work on making The Living Daylights in 1989.
