Prince William And Kate Middleton Set To Shine At The BAFTAs

Sain April 19, 2025

Hey there! Kensington Palace just dropped some exciting news: Prince William and Kate Middleton are set to grace the BAFTAs this Sunday, February 18. For those who might not know, the BAFTAs are kind of like the British version of the Oscars. Last year, Kate, who’s now 36 and expecting twins, made her red carpet debut in a stunning custom gown by British designer Alexander McQueen. Now, that’s a bold move braving the icy weather with an off-the-shoulder design, but she pulled it off beautifully, showcasing exquisite green and violet embroidery with satin ribbon detailing.

William, who's been the BAFTA president since 2010, has attended the event a few times in the past, always looking sharp in a tux. This year, the 35-year-old royal has a special role—he’ll be presenting the Fellowship Award, which is the highest honor of the ceremony, to the legendary Sir Ridley Scott. The event will take place at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall, hosted by the fabulous Joanna Lumley, star of Absolutely Fabulous. It’s going to be a star-studded night, and we can’t wait to see what Kate wears this time!

Spending Quality Time with the Kids

Before they step out for the glamorous event, William and Kate are expected to enjoy some downtime with their adorable children, Prince George, who's 4, and Princess Charlotte, who's 2. This weekend, the loving parents are making the most of their kids' school break, clearing their schedules to focus on family time. George, who studies at Thomas’s Battersea school, and Charlotte, who attends Willcocks Nursery School, are enjoying a well-deserved break from their studies.

A Family Ski Trip Adventure

Over the years, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have used the children’s winter breaks to go on skiing trips. Back in March 2016, the family enjoyed a memorable holiday in the French Alps. It was the kids’ very first ski trip, and the royals shared a series of heartwarming family portraits after the vacation. These photos showcased the intimate side of the Cambridges, featuring moments of George and Charlotte playing in the snow.

At the time, a Kensington Palace spokesperson shared, "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are thrilled to release these new family photos. The images capture Their Royal Highnesses enjoying a short skiing holiday with their children in the French Alps. It was their first family-of-four vacation, and the children's first time experiencing snow. It was an incredibly special and enjoyable getaway for the family. The Duke and Duchess hope everyone enjoys these photos as much as they do."

Returning Home After a Royal Tour

William and Kate recently wrapped up a royal tour of Sweden and Norway, where they participated in various official duties, including walkabouts, gallery visits, and meetings with dignitaries. They also attended some glamorous events, mingling with famous personalities like Stellan Skarsgård and Academy Award-winning actress Alicia Vikander. Now, they're ready to take a break from their royal responsibilities and focus on their family.
