00:01Tom Cruise created another memorable royal moment while accompanying Prince William and Kate Middleton at the London premiere of Digger.
00:10As Cruise, Kate, William and director Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárriti descended a flight of stairs, the actor reached out and helped
00:18the princess down.
00:19Kate accepted his hand, while William continued walking without offering the same assistance.
00:36The moment sparked criticism of William and claims that Cruise had broken royal protocol by initiating physical contact.
00:44However, the royal family's official website states that there are no obligatory rules for meeting a royal, only traditional customs.
00:53Cruise's gesture was ultimately what it appeared to be, a courteous attempt to help Kate navigate the stairs.
