The Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Kate Middleton attended the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards held on Sunday at the Royal Festival Hall in London. This was their first appearance since 2023. Prince William is the President of the BAFTA. Earlier on Saturday, Princess Catherine had attended a rugby match between England and Ireland.
Kate Middleton looked gorgeous in a layered pink and maroon Gucci gown that she had previously worn to a gala in 2019. She wore glittering diamond earrings, and her hair was styled in long and loose waves that added simplicity yet elegance. William wore a maroon tuxedo jacket. The velvet jacket had black lapels.
