With award season well underway, the Baftas 2024 has been another night of glitz and glamour for the biggest names in the entertainment industry. The Baftas red carpet was a lesson in bold and effortless elegance (ahem, looking at you Dua Lipa), and famous faces gathered in the hundreds to celebrate the best in film at Royal Festival Hall at the Southbank Centre, London.
The winners list has been announced, but one of the biggest talking points of the evening was whether or not the Prince of Wales would attend the ceremony. William and his wife, Kate, skipped the Baftas in 2021 and 2022, before the Prince and Princess returned in 2023. William has been the President of BAFTA since 2010, making him a front row regular, but he was absent for those two consecutive years for understandable reasons. In 2021, he missed the Baftas following the death of his grandfather, Prince Philip, and in 2022 it was 'due to diary constraints'.
