Last night, Prince William and Kate walked the red carpet at the premiere of a biopic about the anti-apartheid icon, Nelson Mandela. The glittering event was held in London's Leicester Square. Before the screening they met with the cast and crew of the movie titled 'Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom.'

William spoke in the foyer and said: "I just wanted to say it's extremely sad and tragic news. We were just reminded what an extraordinary and inspiring man Nelson Mandela was. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. It's very sad."
