Die Another Day was released on November 20, 2002 in both the United States and London. The Queen and Prince Philip were guests of honour at the world premiere, which was the second to be attended by the Queen after You Only Live Twice.[21] The Royal Albert Hall had a make-over for the screening and had been transformed into an ice palace.
