Prince William has resumed his agenda. After staying with Kate Middleton throughout the period following the abdominal surgery for which she was hospitalized, the heir to the British throne has now once again taken responsibility for his responsibilities at the head of the crown. That's why King Charles' son attended the BAFTA Awards last Sunday, February 18th. A gala that he attended accompanied by his wife and at which he was present alone this time.

However, Prince William's presence at the BAFTA Awards was particularly marked by his mistakes. Since it couldn't be otherwise, the future King of the United Kingdom did not hesitate to talk to the media and some of the nominated artists. A moment in which he admitted not having seen some of the main films of the evening, such as “Barbie”, considered the most successful film of 2023 worldwide.
Prince William's mistakes at the 2024 BAFTA Awards
“I haven’t seen Barbie yet,” admitted Diana of Wales’s son to one of the participants. For his part, he replied that he had to “see it” and the prince assured that he “hopes to catch up” and watch all the films he still has in store with his wife Kate Middleton. A plan that both of them can now implement perfectly, especially considering that the Princess of Wales remains at rest and will continue to do so until Easter.

But that wasn't the only mistake Prince Harry's brother made that caused quite a stir. Speaking to Mia McKenna-Bruce, winner of a BAFTA award for her role in the drama film How to Have Sex, the future King explained that it was a “very funny” production.. Some words suggested that she hadn't seen it, as it is a work of fiction in which the protagonist goes on vacation to a Greek island where she is raped by a tourist.
This information suggests that Prince William may not have adequately prepared his appearance at the gala in question. That would not be surprising at all, especially given the difficult situation he has been through in recent weeks following the operation of his partner and the discovery of cancer in his father, Carlos III. However, these are times when the heir to the throne can demonstrate that he is best suited to assume his role as future king if necessary, as he assumes the main functions of the royal family alongside Queen Camilla.
Given the complicated circumstances Prince William faced, this is worth noting His appearance at the BAFTA Awards 2024 was always characterized by seriousness. In a blue velvet tuxedo, Dickie bow tie and black patent leather brogues, Lady Di's firstborn son became one of the most prominent faces of the evening, albeit with a sober appearance. However, the situation did not stop him from reaching out to some of the citizens who visited the Royal Festival Hall in London to take a few selfies with them and capture the significance of the event.

As the evening came to an end, Meghan Markle's brother-in-law soon left the said venue to return to his wife and children. To avoid being in the media spotlight during her recovery, Kate Middleton preferred to settle down in Sandringham with her loved ones, albeit in complete secrecy. And the last photo we saw of her was last Christmas.
Unlike his daughter-in-law, King Charles sees his illness as completely normal. The sovereign chose the family home in Norfolk to continue his cancer treatment. A process about which many details have not been disclosed and in which the monarch lives with his life partner in the greatest confidence. The consort remains at the forefront of the Windsor clan, while following her husband's development as closely as people from all corners of the world.
