However, it was not the first time the Prince got an insight into the life of a spy. The Duke of Cambridge, 39, may have watched Daniel Craig on the big screen after the film was delayed for over a year, but back in 2019 the royal spent three weeks with the real James Bond in MI6.

       Two years ago, William spent weeks with teams in the UK’s Secret Intelligence Service which features in the James Bond films as 007's employer.

       The 39-year-old also spent time with the Security Service MI5 and the -listening outpost GCHQ.

       At the time, senior royal sources told the Mirror: “Prince William was exposed to the full range of counter-terrorism operations, from working with the Islamist counter-terror teams, the threat of the Far Right in Britain, the Real IRA and even our old Cold War enemies.

       “The experience gave him a unique insight into the threat to Britain and the British people.”

       The source claimed the Prince was deeply interested in counter-terrorism, the Middle East and the threat to Britain.

       A senior intelligence source said: “William -impressed everyone.

       “He has a deep interest and understanding of the work done by all three agencies.”

       Tonight the Prince got to see the secret service on the big screen at the Royal Albert Hall and was joined by the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall.
