Yesterday she was diplomatic about why New York lost out, explaining: “This is where New Line Cinema decided to do it, so we started here. We are thrilled to be in London and we will be thrilled to take it to America.”

Cynthia Nixon, who plays Miranda in the film, tried to placate American fans by implying last night’s London premiere was not the main event.

She said: “We’re having a kind of smallish premiere here; we’re having a smallish premiere in Berlin.

“We’re building to the New York premiere which is enormous and happens just before the film opens worldwide.”

Following the London première in Leicester Square, the film heads to Berlin on May 15 before finally showing in New York on May 27. The film opens on May 30 in the United States.

Fans of the massively popular television series, which ran between 1998-2004, have waited four years for the latest instalment — and this time it has been translated to the big screen.

The plotline of the film in case you don’t know, which follows the lives and loves of journalist Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker); art dealer Charlotte (Kristin Davis); Miranda the lawyer; single mother (Cynthia Nixon) and man-eater Samantha (Kim Catrall), has been one of Hollywood’s most fiercely-guarded secrets.
