Overview

• Prince William and Kate Middleton are on vacation with their three children on the private island of Mustique in the Caribbean, skipping the 2025 BAFTA Awards.
• This decision aligns with their tradition of spending time with family during school holidays; their children's half-term break began on February 14.
• The royal couple reportedly flew together with their children on a British Airways flight to Saint Lucia before heading to Mustique, accompanied by Kate's mother, Carole Middleton.
• Prince William, as President of BAFTA since 2010, appeared in a pre-recorded video during the awards ceremony to celebrate British filmmakers.
• This is not the first time the couple has missed the BAFTAs; previous absences were due to personal and scheduling reasons, including Kate's recovery from abdominal surgery in 2024.
