 Daniel Craig, who takes on the
role of the suave 007 agent for a fifth and
final time in the film, will lead co-stars Rami
Malek, Lea Seydoux, Lashana Lynch, Ben Whishaw
and Naomie Harris on the red carpet at London's
Royal Albert Hall on Sept. 28.
Charles' Clarence House office said he and
Prince William would be accompanied by their
wives, Camilla and Catherine, at the premiere.
The Universal Pictures and MGM film was
originally set for release in April 2020 but was
delayed several times as the COVID-19 pandemic
forced cinemas around the world to shut their
doors and audience capacity restrictions were
imposed.
James Bond films are among the biggest movie
franchises in Hollywood, with 2015's "Spectre"
grossing $880 million at the box office
worldwide and 2012's "Skyfall" making more than
$1 billion globally.

 The royals will meet some of
the cast members as well as director Cary Joji
Fukunaga, Billie Eilish, who sings the movie's
theme tune, and producers Michael G. Wilson and
Barbara Broccoli.
 The premiere, the first of a spate of Bond
promotional events worldwide, will benefit
charities supporting current and former members
of UK special forces, the Secret Intelligence
Service, the Security Service and GCHQ
(Government Communications Headquarters), the
official 007 website said.
Healthcare workers have also been invited to the
premiere as a tribute to their hard work during
the pandemic.
"No Time To Die" will begin its global cinema
rollout later next week.
