As they approached a staircase, Cruise offered his hand to Middleton, who was dressed in a Roland Mouret column dress and black Prada heels. He then guided her up the stairs while Prince William walked alongside them, adjusting his jacket and tie.
After safely reaching the top of the stairs, Cruise introduced the future king and queen to his co-stars Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, and Miles Teller. Many people praised the actor for his gentlemanly behavior on Twitter.
Although some viewers questioned whether it was appropriate for Cruise to touch a member of the royal family, Yahoo UK's royal executive editor Omid Scobie clarified that there are no official rules about touching royals.
He added that there are many assumptions about royal etiquette and protocol that may not be accurate. Overall, many people were grateful that Cruise was there to help Middleton avoid a potential trip and fall.
