The love was definitely felt on Sunday night as The Lion King premiere took place in London.

The live-action reimagining of the Disney classic stars Donald Glover, Beyoncé, Seth Rogen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, James Earl Jones, Billy Eichner, John Oliver, and John Kani.

Some of the film’s stars made their way down the red carpet at the West End as excited fans cheered from the sidelines, including Beyoncé (with husband Jay-Z) and Seth Rogen.

Also attending the premiere were Elton John and husband David Furnish, Pharrell, Vin Diesel, and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

The Duchess is, of course, no stranger to film premieres having been an actress for many years before retiring to marry her prince.

The royal pair met with the movie’s cast and crew — including sharing a hug with Beyoncé! — before watching The Lion King which is due in cinemas on July 19th.
