Last week Prince William and Prince Harry paid a visit to the Pinewood Studios set of Star Wars: Episode VIII, but according to The Daily Mail the two Royals weren’t just there for a photo opportunity, as the paper is reporting that they shot cameos for the hotly-anticipated second instalment of Disney’s Sequel Trilogy.
“The line given was that they were going to have lunch and a private tour of the rest of the set,” claims the paper’s source. “What really happened is that the director [Rian Johnson] came over and told them it was time to ‘get suited’ and off they went to the wardrobe department. The Princes dressed up in full Stormtrooper gear and filmed a scene in which Rey and Finn infiltrate a secret base. The rebel characters are in a lift with Benicia del Toro’s character when a group of Stormtroopers enter – two of whom are William and Harry.”
