The Prince of Wales added: "I can't watch it yet. I need to be in quite a calm state, and I'm not at the moment. I will save it."

Catherine said she saw the film on Saturday, admitting that "it was a very bad idea" and "ended up with very puffy eyes".
She said it was "very powerful", praising the "fantastic" and "raw" music score and talking about its portrayal of "intergenerational grief".
