Two of cinema’s great dames have rubbed shoulders with royalty at the world premiere of The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Dame Judi Dench and Dame Maggie Smith were each greeted with kisses on both cheeks by the Prince of Wales as he and the Duchess of Cornwall met the film’s stars at the Odeon cinema in London’s Leicester Square. The street outside the famous venue was decked in drapes and flower garlands of yellow and pink, and an orange carpet replaced the traditional red hue in reflection of the film’s Indian setting.
