Royals: they're huge Star Wars fans, just like us. At least, this much appears to be true of Prince William and Prince Harry, who recently visited the set of Star Wars.
On April 19, the royals visited Pinewood Studios in England, where the production of the next installment of the franchise, Star Wars: Episode VIII, is currently under way.
The two Royals lived out what was presumably a childhood fantasy of wielding real-life lightsabers.

And both made some absolutely heart-warming intergalactic friendships.

Although Kensington Palace claimed that the purpose of the visit was to acknowledge the great work of British creatives, we're pretty sure it's because the Princes - like all of us - couldn't resist the opportunity to get a backstage look at the new movie.
The Duke & Prince Harry's visit @PinewoodStudios recognises the wealth of British creative talent involved in producing the @starwars films
