Prince William and Duchess Kate are regulars at the BAFTA awards gala. This year, however, Kate is recovering from surgery, so the prince walked the red carpet alone. During the event, he sat next to Cate Blanchett.
The BAFTA awards gala, i.e., the so-called British Oscars, attracts not only a lot of stars and film journalists to London every year. Prince William and Duchess Kate are also regular guests at the event. This year, due to his wife’s hospitalization, Wiliam showed up alone.
Prince William alone at the BAFTA Gala
It’s no secret that Kate loves movies, but William also has a lot in common with cinema. Since 2010, he has been the chairman of the British Film Academy. This year, however, he humbly admitted that he did not manage to watch all the nominated films. He saw, among others, “Oppenheimer,” but he did not make it, for example, “Barbie.”.
As he revealed in a behind-the-scenes interview, he recently had “other things on his mind.” He was probably concerned about the health problems of his relatives. In January, Kate underwent abdominal surgery, one of which is that his father, King Charles III, currently has the greatest reason to worry. The monarch was diagnosed with cancer.
Duchess Kate was a big absentee from the BAFTA gala
Prince William did not talk about how his father felt at the gala, which is understandable. There are special messages for such messages. However, he did not fail to mention his absent wife.
I’m sorry Kate isn’t with me, she loves BAFTA. All the movies I watch, she watches with me. We go through them together, said Elaine Bedell, general director of the Southbank Center in London.
He also added that together they plan to catch up on the cinematic backlog from last year.
