The royal couple will skip the event due to their children's school break, though Prince William will appear in a pre-recorded video message.

  • Kensington Palace confirmed that Prince William and Kate Middleton will not attend the BAFTA Awards on February 16, 2025, citing their children's half-term school holiday as the reason.
