  • Prince William and Kate visit London’s Royal Festival Hall

BAFTA Awards 2026 night was held in London's Royal Festival Hall on June 22, 2026. To grace the event, the royal duo Princess Kate Middleton and Prince William came hand-in-hand together, looking stunning as ever. Kate is reportedly attending the seminal event after a gap of 3 years, as she was diagnosed with cancer and was undergoing treatment for the same.

Dressed in a gorgeous two-tone Gucci gown in chiffon fabric, Kate made quite a fashion statement. What's interesting is that the royal princess actually repeated her outfit. She wore the same gown in 2019 to the 100 Women in Finance gala at London's Victoria and Albert museum.

This time around, she kept her tresses open, with soft curls framing her face. On a closer look, Kate also wore a velvet belt in burgundy colour to cinch her waist and add more definition to the silhouette. To round off her look, she carried a burgundy clutch in her hand and wore silver pointed toe heels. She also wore the legendary Greville chandelier earrings, created by Cartier between 1918 and 1929. The earrings are crafted in platinum and modern-cut diamonds.

On the other hand, Prince William wore a velvet jacket in burgundy colour, looking immaculate as ever. The two of them were all smiles for the paparazzi. The royals made the appearance at a time when former Prince Andrew's alleged connection was made in Jeffrey Epstein files. For the uninitiated, Prince William is the president of BAFTA.
