Prince William and Kate Middleton’s anticipated appearance at Sunday’s BAFTA TV Awards seems improbable, according to recent reports.
The royal couple, amidst Princess Kate’s ongoing preventative chemotherapy following her cancer diagnosis, is expected to opt for a video message instead of attending the ceremony in person.
As the film and TV organization’s president since 2010, Prince William will reportedly record a video message to be played during the awards ceremony.
While there are speculations about Princess Kate making a rare appearance via Zoom, her current health condition suggests otherwise.
The decision for Prince William to record a video message aligns with previous instances where one member of the royal couple attended major BAFTA awards ceremonies while the other remained absent.
In February, Prince William attended the BAFTA Film Awards alone as Princess Kate was recovering from illness.
Recent engagements attended by Prince William indicate his continued involvement despite his wife’s health challenges.
However, Princess Kate’s focus remains on her recovery from cancer and undergoing chemotherapy, as disclosed in a video message approximately six weeks ago. The diagnosis was made following tests after an operation.
Despite the royal couple’s absence, the BAFTA TV Awards ceremony promises to be star-studded, with nominees including actors from the acclaimed series ‘The Crown.’
Notable mentions include portrayals of Princess Diana, Prince Charles, Princess Margaret, and Mohamed Al-Fayed.
Although ‘The Crown’ received multiple nominations, other shows such as Netflix’s ‘Black Mirror’ and ‘Top Boy,’ along with BBC One’s ‘Happy Valley,’ have also garnered significant recognition, making this year’s TV Awards an eventful and highly anticipated occasion within the industry.
