Step aside Idris Elba, Tom Hardy and Regé-Jean Page, because Prince William has been declared the "perfect candidate" to take over as James Bond from Daniel Craig.
He's tall, looks good in a dinner jacket and is able to fly a helicopter, so the duke could fit right in with Her Majesty's - that's his granny's - Secret Service, say Bond film bosses.
Franchise producers Barbara Broccoli, 62, and Michael Wilson, 80, who are brother and sister, picked up CBEs from Prince William, 40, at Buckingham Palace yesterday.
The siblings said they were "still on the hunt" for a new 007 to take over from Daniel, 54 - who has departed the film series after playing the leading role in five instalments.
Barbara produced the last nine Bond films, including Casino Royale, Skyfall and No Time To Die, with her brother, and said it was a "huge honour" to accept a CBE from William.
Asked who was likely to be the next Bond, she said: "Unfortunately, the person we just met isn't available. He's occupied, unfortunately, but he would be the perfect candidate.
The film producer further teased over Prince William: "[He] ticks all the boxes. But he's not available, sadly." Barbara concluded by commenting: "So we're still on the hunt."

And when asked if they had a favourite instalment in the popular film franchise, Michael responded: "We like all of them. We always find something great in every film."
He added: "Especially the different actors who have done magnificent films. I think, in our hearts, we believe at least one of their films is outstanding, if not several."
The siblings own family-run Eon Productions, which was founded by their late father, Albert 'Cubby' Broccoli. Barbara said her and Michael make a "good team" together.
Discussing their partnership, she commented recently: "It's very smooth when we're working together. It's only around the dinner table we have disagreements!"
