Young Victoria’s royal premiere

Leicester Square laid down a regal purple carpet last night for the world premiere of The Young Victoria, the new movie from Jean-Marc Vallee that lingers on the burgeoning romance between Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. The bash continued at Kensington Palace where star of the film Emily Blunt partied with her co-star Rupert Friend and his rather more famous girlfriend Keira Knightley (above), along with a host of cast and crew members including Miranda Richardson, Jim Broadbent, co-producer Sarah Ferguson and scriptwriter Julian Fellowes.
