Overview
- Prince William attended in his role as BAFTA president and presented the academy’s highest honor, the Fellowship, to Dame Donna Langley of NBCUniversal Entertainment.
- The Princess of Wales re-wore her two‑tone 2019 Gucci gown and accessorized with notable royal heirlooms, including the Greville chandelier earrings and the Queen Mary choker bracelet.
- The couple coordinated their looks, with William in a burgundy velvet jacket that matched Kate’s belt and clutch.
- On the red carpet they did not respond when asked whether “the monarchy is in peril,” a question posed days after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s Feb. 19 arrest.
- Inside the venue, William said he was not in a calm state to watch the nominated film Hamnet, while Kate said it left her in tears, and a body‑language expert later observed signs of tension.
