The producers of the latest James Bond movie ‘No Time To Die’ want Daniel Craig’s latest performance as Bond to be a hit in America. With Meghan and Harry constantly in the spotlight, bosses are desperate to see the former Duke and Duchess of Sussex appear in the highly anticipated premiere.
His top priority is getting Harry and Meghan at the Los Angeles screening in November.
However, Prince William and Kate can attend the London premiere the week before.
Both couples are unlikely to attend this year after Harry and Meghan’s decision to resign their roles as primary members of the Royal Family, which could create a scheduling conflict.
A source said: “The team has recently adjusted the release date in the US to bring it within a week of the UK release, so they can have massive releases in Los Angeles and London.

“For the Hollywood premiere, they have indicated that they want Harry and Meghan as guests of honor.
“It raises an interesting question about whether William and Kate will attend the London premiere.”
Harry, William and Kate were at the Leicester Square premiere for the latest Bond movie, Specter, in 2015.
The new film, costing £ 162 million, was released in April, but was delayed amid the coronavirus crisis.

In the new movie, Bond is shown enjoying his retirement in Jamaica, having hung up his Walther PPK pistol in favor of a calmer life.
No Time To Die takes place five years after the last Bond movie, Specter, which saw the secret agent fall in love with Dr. Swann, a French psychologist.
The former ‘top four’ are not the only royalty who have brushed their way with actor 007 Daniel Craig.
In a new book by the Queen’s dressmaker Angela Kelly, the monarch broke royal protocol when she was introduced to Danny Boyle’s plan to include her in the James Bond sketch of the London 2012 Olympics through Private Secretary Edward Young .

The short clip shows actor Daniel Craig, who played Agent 007 in the movie, greeting the Queen and escorting her from the Palace to a helicopter.
Kelly wrote in the book, The Other Side of the Coin, The Queen, the Dresser, and the Wardrobe: “There are few occasions when Her Majesty will agree to break protocol, but in 2011 when film director Danny Boyle approached the Royal Home, I had a request to make that we just couldn’t refuse.
“The idea amused her a lot and she accepted immediately.
“Then I asked him if he would like to speak.

“Without hesitation, His Majesty replied: ‘Of course I must say something. After all, he comes to rescue me.
“I asked her if she would like to say, ‘Good afternoon, James,’ or ‘Good evening, Mr Bond, and she chose the latter, knowing the Bond movies.
“Within minutes, I was back in Edward’s office delivering the good news to Danny.
“I think he almost fell out of his chair when I said that the Queen’s only stipulation was that she could utter that iconic line:” Good evening, Mr. Bond. “

Queen Elizabeth II secretly filmed the five-minute film four months before the London Olympics.
In it, he received James Bond from Mr. Craig at Buckingham Palace before escorting him to a waiting helicopter, from which the doubles parachuted into the Olympic Park.
Wearing the same outfit with which she had “parachuted”, the Queen made her entrance, taking her place in the Royal Box.
Kelly, who got a job at the royal house in 1994, also reveals that the monarch gave the book his personal blessing.
