Maverick is better than Bond!
Saturday he will be crowned! King Charles III (74) may finally ascend the throne. For the first time in seven decades, the British people are celebrating a new king. Of course, mega guests also come to the mega event.
Over 2000 guests will attend Coronation of Charles expected. Duchess Meghan (41) is not one of them, but a lot of celebrities. Ironically, an American is one of the most important VIPs.
Saturday 6 May from 8.45 a.m Don’t miss this coronation show
This does not mean US President Joe Biden (80), who will NOT come, but Hollywood star Tom Cruise (60). The actor will make a guest appearance at the Coronation Concert on Sunday, the day after Coronation, at Windsor Castle.
Not only him: Lionel Richie (73), Katy Perry (38), Nicole Scherzinger (44) and Take That are also at the start. But the fact that Tom Cruise is allowed to come is not just because of his star appeal, which he brings with him.
In fact, the ‘Mission: Impossible’ and ‘Top Gun’ creator has long been a regular with the royals.
1992: First meeting between Cruise, Nicole Kidman and Lady Diana (r.)
In 1992, Cruise met none other than Lady Diana († 36) – with his then wife Nicole Kidman (55) for the premiere of “In a Far Land”. It was more than just a handshake, because for Cruise, it became friendship.
Diana loved his cult film “Top Gun” and is said to always watch it at home with her sons William (40) and Harry (38) have looked.
“She was a magical person who engulfed you with her personality,” the actor said of the princess of hearts who died so tragically in 1997. Cruise even attended her funeral with Kidman.
But even after Diana, the megastar remained loyal to the British royal family. Last year Cruise gave for “Top Gun” fan Prinz William and Princess Kate (40) a private screening of his blockbuster “Top Gun: Maverick”. The heir to the throne was one of the first to marvel at the sequel to the classic fighter jet.
Then the Cambridges came again for the official premiere in London. Where Cruise almost seemed like the best friend of the family.

Tom Cruise and William chat happily about their passion for flying
Tom about Dude William: “We have a lot in common. We both love England and we are both pilots. We both love flying.”
Of course, the eternal film icon was not missing for the Queen’s great jubilee last summer. Cruise performed as part of a Kings Troop Royal Artillery display in Windsor, where hundreds of horses were presented to the gallop-loving Queen. At times, the superstar attracted so many fans that he almost Elizabeth II († 96) stole the show and lots of chaos broke out.
Cruise expressed his admiration and respect for the monarch. However, there was no personal meeting with “His” Majesty.
Tom Cruise sparked riots during his visit to Windsor
A palace insider then revealed: “The Queen revealed she was very disappointed not to have met Tom at the horse pageant, so he was treated to a special tour of Windsor Castle where everything was set up for him .”
Cruise was allowed loud „Daily Mail“ even arrive in a helicopter and have tea for two with the Queen. Both are said to have understood each other splendidly.
So it almost goes without saying that Charles is now inviting him to his coronation. For Tom, on the other hand, a point of honor. Although he comes from the US state of New York, a British heart beats in him. Cruise often shoots his films on British soil.
Among other things, his new “Mission: Impossible 7” (starting in July) was created in several locations in England, including Birmingham.
