Tom Hardy<\/a> may be a Hollywood heartthrob but did you know he has ties with British royalty?\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Peaky Blinders actor<\/strong><\/a> is a close friend of Prince Harry and famously made a quick dash back to the UK whilst filming Fonzo for the Duke\u2019s royal wedding to Meghan Markle in 2018.<\/a><\/p>\n

Whilst the pair go way back, Tom has said in the past that his relationship with Harry is “deeply private” but did previously tell Esquire: \u201cHarry\u2019s a [expletive] legend.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pair have also been pictured attending the polo together over the years. Another moment Tom and Harry have crossed paths was back in 2017 at the Dunkirk premiere.<\/p>\n

It is unclear how the pair met however it is likely the initially crossed paths through Tom\u2019s work with the Prince\u2019s Trust.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tom took on the ambassadorship in 2010, launching the You Can Do It campaign focused on addressing the low self-esteem and lack of confidence experienced by some young people.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Tom was awarded a CBE by the then Prince Charles for his services to drama.<\/p>\n

“The Prince’s Trust is a charity that has always been close to my heart,” he told Mirror at the time.<\/p>\n

Prince William<\/p>\n

Whilst not much has been said about Tom’s bond with the future King Prince William, according to reports, the royal brothers joined the actor in a cameo recorded for Star Wars: The Last Jedi\u00a0as Storm Troopers.<\/p>\n

However, it was reported that their scene was ultimately cut from the final film but appeared in the deleted scenes on the DVD\/Blu-ray release. The reason for the cut was primarily due to the Princes’ height, as stormtroopers are typically 5’11”, while William is 6’3″ and Harry is 6’1″<\/p>\n
