The longtime girlfriend of Britain’s Prince William went to a movie premiere in London’s Odeon Liecester Square Thursday night. This was a rare public appearance for Kate Middleton, as she has been out of the limelight for many months now.

The movie she saw was Tenacity on the Tasman, about Olly Hicks, a good friend of both William and Kate’s. Hicks, who at only 23 years old, became the first person to ever row from England to the United States alone. William and Olly Hicks have believed to have been friends since their teenage years.

Also in attendance were several members of William and Kate’s circle of friends. Holly Branson, the daughter of Virgin tycoon Richard Branson was there. So was Jecca Craig, a former flame of Prince William’s.

Proceeds from this premiere will benefit the charity, Hopes & Homes for Children.
