It’s not often that you see a Duchess show her emotional side and that too at a film screening. But, this is exactly what happened when Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton watched the ‘War Horse’, directed by Steven Spielberg, at its London premiere. Says the director, “My wife, Kate Capshaw, had to hand the Duchess a tissue as she sat weeping in the stalls during the film’s premiere. I was sitting next to her and all I know is, at one point, my wife – who was sitting to my right – right in front of my face, she passed a Kleenex. I didn’t want to intrude on her experience watching ‘War Horse’ so I never glanced over.” Kate is not the only one who has been moved to tears by the First World War epic The critically acclaimed director admitted that he wept the first time he saw an earlier the play based on Michael Morpurgo’s classic story about a boy and his horse Joey, which inspired the film. “The play did that to me, I came out a soaking wet wreck,” he revealed.
