Prince William (40) and Princess Kate (40) were the talks of the town on Sunday at the Bafta Awards in London. Despite not being nominated for an award, the royal couple stole the show and made the event their own.
The award ceremony took a backseat as all eyes were on the Cambridge couple. Hollywood was no match for the heir and heiress to the British throne. What added to the allure of the night was the couple’s relaxed demeanor. They were seen enjoying each other’s company and even exchanged a playful slap on the bottom.
At one point during the event, Kate whispered something in William’s ear, which was subsequently decoded by a lip reader. Unfortunately, the context of the conversation couldn’t be established, but it was speculated that they might have missed a star walking the red carpet.
Despite the couple being in the limelight, the Bafta Awards had its own lineup of stars. The event was attended by personalities from the British and Irish film scene, including Jamie Dornan, Martin Freeman, Colin Farrell, and Anya-Taylor Joy. Cate Blanchett also made an appearance.
According to body language expert Judi James, the couple was significantly less inhibited and displayed more affection towards each other than usual. There was also an increase in eye contact between them, and the pat on the backside hinted at a bit of flirting.
William and Kate’s appearance at the Bafta Awards showcased their love and affection for each other. As much as they were there to celebrate film achievements, they also celebrated their own personal achievements as a couple, making it one of their most memorable evenings in recent years.
