Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, opened up about his wife Kate Middleton’s ongoing recovery during the prestigious BAFTA Awards held on February 18.

Although the event was filled with glitz and glamour, the absence of Princess Catherine was strongly felt due to her continued healing process following a planned abdominal surgery.

During a heartfelt moment with Elaine Bedel, the chief executive of the Southbank Centre, Prince William expressed sorrow over Kate’s inability to attend, highlighting her genuine affection for the BAFTAs.

He mentioned, “I’m sorry Catherine’s not here.

She does love the Baftas,” revealing the sentiment shared by the future King of the United Kingdom.

The Duke revealed that his own engagement with the nominated films had been notably influenced by Kate’s recovery, as he refrained from immersing himself in cinematic pleasures without her presence.

“I’ve done the fewest I’ve ever done before, with my wife it’s been a bit…hopefully we’ll catch up.

I’ll make my list tonight,” William disclosed, stressing the significance of their joint viewing experiences.

He added, “All the ones I watch, she watches with me.

So we go through it carefully,” emphasizing their mutual love for movies.

Known for their grace and fashion sense, the royal couple had mesmerized audiences with their first appearance as the Prince and Princess of Wales at the British Awards ceremony in 2023.

Recalling their remarkable debut, where Catherine shone in a stunning white one-shoulder Alexander McQueen gown paired with long black gloves, while William exuded royal sophistication in a double-breasted velvet blazer matched with black trousers and a bow tie.
