Prince Charles invited to star in new James Bond film during visit to set

Prince Charles has been invited to star in the new James Bond film, The Sun revealed on Sunday.

The heir to the throne was asked if he would take a cameo role when he visited the film set just a few weeks ago and met 007 star Daniel Craig.

Charles, 70, would follow in the foosteps of his mother The Queen, now 93, who played a starring role in Danny Boyle’s homage to the movie for the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics in London.

This saw Bond, played by Craig, heading to Buckingham Palace to collect her Majesty.

They then took a helicopter to the Olympic Park before a stunt double made to look like the Queen dramatically parachuted to the ground.

Princes Wills and Harry also had a cameo as Stormtroopers in Star Wars: The Last Jedi in 2017 although they were cut from the final footage for being too tall.
