Kate Middleton: A Royal Rebel? Royal Protocol Be Damned As Duchess Of Cambridge Goes Braless During Daniel Craig’s ‘Spectre’ London Premiere


The British royals, Kate Middleton, Prince William and Prince Harry, caught a lot of attention when they recently graced the world premiere of the latest James Bond movie, "Spectre," in London on Monday evening. While all of the royals appeared stunning, the Duchess of Cambridge became the talk-of-the-town when royal watchers noticed that Kate ditched her bra and went braless while dressed in a blue gown.

Did Kate Middleton fail to follow a royal protocol? Well, the 33-year-old Duchess seemed to be showing her rebellious side when she went braless while wearing an aqua-blue Jenny Packham gown on Monday at the London premiere of a Daniel Craig-starrer movie, "Spectre." While the royals might be raising their eyebrows with Kate's chosen ensemble, E! News noted that Prince William's wife turned heads as she boasted the look of Hollywood glam when she, her husband and brother-in-law Prince Harry walked down the red carpet.

During the event held at the Royal Albert Hall, the Brit royals chatted with "Spectre" director Sam Mendes and the film's producers. They also talked with the A-list cast including Daniel Craig, who had expressed his excitement for the royals to see the movie, Christoph Waltz, Naomie Harris, Lea Seydoux, Monica Bellucci, Stephanie Sigman and Ben Whishaw. The royal trio also met the members of the Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund (CTBF), which supports those who work behind the scenes in British motion pictures, as well as representatives from two more charities, Save the Children and Shelterbox.

"It's just fantastic to see everybody out tonight," Craig told reporters. "I'm not overwhelmed, I'm very excited and I can't wait for people to see the movie."

While the "Spectre" cast appeared dapper and gorgeous, Kate Middleton was an attention-stealer with her sheer gown. According to Us Weekly, the mom-of-two was totally a standout as her halter dress enveloped in a sheer overlay flaunted her toned back and arms on display. To complete her red carpet look, the Duchess accessorized with a crystal-embellished belt and bedazzled "Casa" clutch. She also borrowed her mom Carole's aquamarine Robinson Pelham chandelier earrings and completed it with her tried-and-tested Jimmy Choo platform sandals.

Meanwhile, "Spectre" is third Bond film chosen for a Royal Film Performance, which highlights iconic movies and the attendance of the royal family, since it began in 1946, Daily Mail reported. Each Royal Film Performance screening helps to aid the CTBF.

Other movies that have been featured for a Royal Film Performance included "Titanic" in 1997, "Star Wars: Episode 1" in 1999 and Dr. Seuss' "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" in 2000. Most recently, 2015's "The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" was also given the honor and attended by Kate Middleton's father-in-law Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles, Duchess of Cornwall.
