What happened
On September 22, 2026, Kate, Princess of Wales, attended the world premiere of the film Digger in Leicester Square, London. The royal couple, alongside Tom Cruise, attended the screening of the film. Kate wore a custom purple gown by Jenny Packham, which featured long, flared sleeves and a slight train. She complemented the look with specific pieces gifted to Princess Diana, including pearl drop earrings and a rare necklace.

Why it matters
The appearance highlighted the transactional relationship between the royal couple and the designer. Jenny Packham, a bespoke designer, utilized her work for high-profile royal engagements. This visibility is significant given that Prince William is the president of BAFTA, giving the couple a vested interest in the UK's film and television industry.
Kate Middleton wore a Jenny Packham creation during the Royal Tour of New Zealand, while Alexis Bledel and Lauren Graham were noted in Gilmore Girls.
