Sunday's British Academy Film Awards (aka the BAFTAs) in London promise to be a star-studded event (nominees include Cynthia Erivo, Timothée Chalamet and Demi Moore, to name a few), but two BAFTAs mainstays are skipping this year's ceremony: Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Royal fans have been eagerly awaiting the 2025 BAFTAs on Feb. 16 in hopes that Princess Kate would make her big red carpet return, but on Monday, Feb. 10, palace sources confirmed that neither the Prince or Princess of Wales will attend the star-studded ceremony.

Some of Kate Middleton’s most unforgettable fashion moments have come from her red-carpet appearances at the BAFTA Awards, the annual celebration for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, of which husband Prince William is president.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are not expected to attend the British Academy Film Awards, set for February 16, 2025.

"I think William and Kate see George as primus inter pares—first among equals," Phil said. “Obviously he is the most important one. Yes, he is the future King but the way things are going Charlotte and Louis may have major roles in the future. Certainly the royal family will need them as they are getting thin on the ground."

Prince William and Kate Middleton will miss the 2025 BAFTA Film Awards, with Prince William instead participating via video and continuing his support for young talent.
