BB-8 greets Prince William and Prince Harry with a curtsy at London premiere of 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi'

Even droids know the importance of manners!

The cutest member of the "Star Wars" family, little BB-8, greeted Prince William and Harry at the London premiere of "The Last Jedi" -- and managed to muster a respectful curtsy.

The royals looked nothing short of enchanted by the real-life droid, which rolled right up to them to say (well, beep) hello. While Wills and Harry dressed up for the big night in black tuxedos, BB-8 opted to keep things casual in its standard gray and orange ensemble.

Scroll through to see the royals' delightful encounter with BB-8:

Leading man John Boyega revealed a few months ago that the princes have small cameo roles in the film: They appear as Stormtroopers in one scene, escorting Boyega's Finn into an elevator.

Boyega was of course also on the red carpet, as were co-stars Daisy Ridley, Mark Hamill, Oscar Isaac and Gwendoline Christie.

Absent from the premiere were the Duchess of Cambridge and the newest soon-to-be member of the family, Meghan Markle. Guess they'll have to wait to see it in theaters like the rest of us.
