Prince William And Kate Attend 2023 BAFTAs After 2-Year Absence
Kate Middleton has been photographed looking glamorous as she arrived with her husband Prince William on the red carpet of the BAFTAs today.
The Princess of Wales, 41, donned a stunning off-white gown as she and her husband the Prince of Wales, 40, rubbed shoulders with British TV and film stars for the glittering ceremony.
She wore a stunning white on shoulder gown, which she contrasted with a pair of long black gloves.
Kate styled her brunette locks in her staple wavy hair do as her natural makeup glowed as she and Prince William walked the red carpet of the awards ceremony.
Meanwhile, BAFTA president Prince William wore a dapper black suit with a white shirt underneath. He added a dapper black bow tie and white pocket square.
The royal couple join a whole host of stars for the exciting awards ceremony as awards season is in full swing.
Alison Hammond and Richard E. Grant are hosting the ceremony and began prepping herself for the big day at 7am this morning.
Meanwhile, A-list stars including Viola Davis, Colin Farrell, Ana de Armas and Cate Blanchett are all nominated for gongs.
The last time the couple attended the BAFTAs was in 2020. However, the year before, Kate and William suffered an awkward encounter during their arrival.
As they arrived for the 2019 ceremony, the Prince and Princess of Wales walked into near silence with the audience all on their feet.
It appeared to be a long, awkward walk for the couple, who were led to the first row to take their seats.
It led Kate to be heard saying: “It’s so quiet” – before William issued her a quick instruction and added: “Let’s sit down quickly.”
After the 2020 ceremony, Prince William and Kate were noticeably absent from the BAFTAs for two years.
The 2021 ceremony was held virtually amid the pandemic and William had been due to record a virtual message but pulled out due to the death of his grandfather Prince Philip.
The following year, William then gave a virtual address but didn’t attend.
Kensington Palace released a statement saying the couple were not able to attend in person due to “diary constraints”.
