The Prince and Princess of Wales made a public appearance together at the BAFTA Film Awards ceremony in London, marking their first joint outing at a major awards show after a period of absence.
Prince William revealed that Princess Kate watched the deeply emotional film “Hamnet” the night before and was moved to tears.
When asked if he had seen “Hamnet” himself, William explained, “I need to be in quite a strong frame of mind, and I’m not really in that frame of mind at the moment. I’ll leave that for another time.”
“Hamnet” tells the story of the tragic death of William Shakespeare’s son, Hamnet, in childhood and the grief of his parents. The film is gaining attention as awards season progresses.
“Honestly, I feel that would be a bad idea,” Kate joked about watching the film before the ceremony. “I ended up with very puffy eyes. It’s beautifully shot. And the music. The soundtrack is amazing.”
She added, “We have a long list of films we still need to watch.”
