In recent images, it was revealed that Prince William and Kate Middleton attended the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards amid the ex-prince Andrew scandal, looking stunning and demonstrating that the royal family is stronger than ever.
On February 22nd, the prince and princess of Wales made their first joint appearance following ex-Prince Andrew’s arrest earlier this week on suspicion of misconduct in public office, and the couple had to be brave to be the face of the family while continuing with this tradition after 3 years of absence.
Prince William, who is also the president of the British Academy Film Awards, looks handsome in a Giorgio Armani burgundy velvet evening jacket and black pants, while his wife, Kate Middleton, stuns wearing a blush Gucci gown.
