Britain's Duchess Catherine cried at a screening of 'War Horse' on Sunday (08.01.12).

The 30-year-old beauty attended her first royal premiere with husband Prince William where the director of the film Steven Spielberg said she had to be passed a Kleenex tissue by his spouse Kate Capshaw because she welled up during the emotional movie.

He told BBC Breakfast: "I was sitting next to her and all I know is at one point my wife, who was sitting to my right, right in front of my face she passed a Kleenex - I saw the Kleenex go across my face, arrive and stop but I didn't want to intrude on her experience watching 'War Horse' so I never glanced over. According to my peripheral vision her eyes were dabbed."

Catherine wore a stunning lace gown by Alice Temperley to the red carpet event, which was also attended by stars of the film including Jeremy Irvine, Tom Hiddleston and Emily Watson.

She and William were in attendance in aid of the Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry, which was created in 2009 to carry forward their charity ambitions.

As well as mopping up tears during 'War Horse', Kleenex's new eye make-up removal wipes - part of the new Facial Cleansing range - could also help keep the duchess' make-up in top condition. See Kleenex.co.uk for details
