Kate Middleton and Prince William have been making a strong return to their royal duties following the Princess of Wales's cancer recovery.
However, it has been revealed they will be missing one of their favourite public events, the BAFTAS 2025, which will be happening on February 16th.
Over the years, both the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall have enjoyed attending the star-studded red carpet but this year, Kensington Palace has confirmed they will not be in attendance.
The exact reason they will be skipping the BAFTAS hasn't been revealed but experts have suggested it's because it falls at the start of their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis's, half term.
With family time a top priority for the couple, especially after Kate's recent health scare, they typically use the school holidays to be together.
Despite Prince William being president of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, he doesn't attend every year and in 2024 went alone while his wife was recovering at home.
