This marks the second time the couple has missed the BAFTA awards in recent years, with both attending in 2023.

As per Deadline, a royal source added that Prince William will be continuing his duties as a senior member of the royal family, with a scheduled visit to the London Screen Academy on Wednesday.

The BAFTAs have always been a notable event for the royal family, with Prince William attending in person until now.

However, he had previously attended solo in 2024 shortly after his wife, Kate Middleton, had undergone surgery and later disclosed she was undergoing cancer treatment.

In 2021, Prince William was absent due to the passing of his grandfather, Prince Philip, and in 2022, both he and Kate missed the ceremony due to other commitments.
