Princes William and Harry will appear in cameo roles as stormtroopers in the upcoming Star Wars film, it has been revealed.
The royals visited the set of The Last Jedi in April 2016 but producers kept details of the brothers' visit to Pinewood Studios under wraps.
British actor John Boyega, who plays former stormtrooper Finn, has confirmed he shared a scene with the pair "in stormtrooper costumes" in an interview.
He told the Hollywood Reporter he had a "great experience" shooting the scene with the royals, saying it made for "a strange contrast of a weird family" with the characters in the film.
The leading man also suggested Tom Hardy would appear in a similarly understated role, also with his face obscured by a stormtrooper mask.
Mr Boyega had previously said "no comment" when asked for details of William and Harry's visit.
The Standard has approached Disney, the owner of the franchise, for comment.
