“With my wife, it was a bit…”: Prince William solo at the BAFTAs, he talks about Kate Middleton’s health and apologizes

A movie evening to relax, after a month and a half of hardship! This Sunday, the BAFTA ceremony (equivalent to the British Caesars) presented its prizes to reward the year 2023 in cinema. A ceremony marked by the omnipotence ofOppenheimerleft with 7 prizes, but also by the performance ofAnatomy of a fallrewarded for his screenplay.

But especially by the arrival, at the start of the evening, of Prince William! Rather rare since the start of 2024, the youngest son of Charles III had indicated several weeks ago that he was pausing his activities as prince to favor his family, while his wife Kate Middleton was operated on for a mysterious intervention in the stomach and slowly recovered.

Fortunately, the young woman’s convalescence seems to be on the right track, since her husband finally decided to leave their Windsor home to come and attend the ceremony, as he does every year. A decision that he nevertheless confided to having taken “a little last minute“, because it probably depended on the state of health of the Princess of Wales, but he did not regret it!

A very tense start to the year for William

Especially since it allowed him to get his head out of the illness and the hospital a little, he who has been confronted with it since the beginning of the year with his wife but also his father, Charles III, suffering from cancer . Discreet about their state of health, both speak very little about their illness in public. And if Prince William did not go into details either, certain implications when his interlocutors discussed the films of the year made it possible to understand that these last few weeks have been difficult for him.

“I’ve never seen so few, but with my wife it was a bit… We’ll catch up later I hope, I’ll make my list this evening“, he confided with humor. Quickly regretting that his wife stayed at home with their children (George, 10 years old, Charlotte, 8 years old, and Louis, 5 years old): “I’m sorry Catherine isn’t here, she loves the BAFTAs“, he assured.
