The pre-taped video was screened over a segment in which former James Bond star Pierce Brosnan, 69, and adventurer Bear Grylls, 48, discussed the king\u2019s military service in the royal Navy and Air Force from 1971 to 1994.<\/p>\n<p>The concert, which was attended by 20,000 people, featured several jaw-dropping performances \u2014 but 60-year-old Cruise\u2019s cameo was definitely a showstopper for newly crowned King Charles, 74, and Queen Camilla, 75. Cruise\u2019s connection to the royal family dates back to 1992 when he and then-wife Nicole Kidman met Princess Diana during the premiere of their Ron Howard film \u201cFar and Away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The late Princess of Wales was reportedly a major fan of \u201cTop Gun\u201d and would watch it frequently with her young son\u2019s Prince Harry and Prince William. Kidman and Cruise later attended the princess\u2019s funeral in 1997. Cruise went on to become friendly with the late Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip during an event at the Outward Bound Trust in 2017, where he bonded with the late Prince Consort over their love of aviation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMission Impossible\u201d star Tom Cruise took the coronation concert of King Charles III to new heights Sunday when he made a surprise appearance in a pre-recorded message. The \u201cMission Impossible\u201d icon even managed to play a role in the Queen\u2019s Platinum Jubilee and introduced the Kings Troop Royal Artillery in \u201cA Gallop Through History\u201d at the Royal Windsor Horse Show.<\/p>\n<p>Cruise has also fostered a new friendship with Prince William, 40, and Kate Middleton, 41, after securing a private screening of \u201cTop Gun: Maverick\u201d after learning the Prince of Wales was a fan of the original 1986 film that spawned the blockbuster sequel. \u201cWe have a lot in common,\u201d said Cruise on the film\u2019s red carpet. \u201cWe both love England, and we\u2019re both aviators. We both love flying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The message comes just one day after the coronation ceremony, which took place on Saturday, May 6 at Westminster Abbey. It marked the official transfer of power to King Charles after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in September at the age of 96.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/212443307416146416\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog_hollywood\/article2780_shop.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div style=\"padding -bottom: 5px; padding-top: 5px;\" align=\"center\"><strong>Related Videos<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_94964\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/znuHgv5kS5s?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_18839\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/E0gL50xtNf4?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_94028\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s2hZSPbVnbE?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_16518\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-lL3oOP_-RU?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-timeline\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CitadelonPrime?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">Tweets by CitadelonPrime<\/a> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u201cMaverick\u201d has paid high-flying homage to the monarch.
