Prince William has said he is 'not in a calm state' to watch Hamnet after months of turmoil around his wife's cancer and his uncle's recent arrest.

Their glamorous appearance at the EE BAFTA Film Awards with his wife, the Princess of Wales tonight signalled a determination to put the Royal Family's current difficulties to one side.

But it appeared that issues around Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor weren't far from Prince William's mind as he admitted he had not yet watched best picture nominee Hamnet because he needed to be in a calm mood.

Speaking on the carpet before the star-studded event at The Royal Festival Hall he said: 'I need to be in quite a calm state and I am not at the moment. I will save it.'

But Catherine, he said, had watched the hugely emotional film on Saturday night and was left in 'floods of tears'.

Hamnet tells the story of the tragic death in childhood of Shakespeare's son and the grief of his parents.

Would have loved Kate to wear a big gun necklace with that. gown, but I see the Greville earrings and the art deco diamond bracelet that use to be a choker necklace for Queen Mary.

The gown would have paired well with the Greville ruby & diamond bandeau necklace that Catherine wore for the 2017 Spanish state banquet. There are also many a pair of ruby and diamond earrings she could have paired with the necklace.

Good to see them both out supporting the British Film Industry.

Absolutely agree and its always an annual highlight!

According to Marie Claire, they were spotted in Courcheval (French Alps).

That supposed sighting was from their Christmas holiday.

She seems to have got an allergy against the big necklaces as she hasn't worn one for years. Think the last time was at the Diplomatic reception in 2019

Whether this one is a puff piece or something else, but it seems like they got warm welcome during the visit.

This part reminds me of what the late DoE used to do:

When one little boy in a blue dinosaur coat told him he was waiting for the Princess, William took off to find his wife and cleared a route through the police and press for him to talk to her.

These are the type of things that will ensure that the monarchy survives.

Well, yeah, I wonder what the Waleses can do in a situation like this.

Stiff upper lip and simply continuing, is this an option? I always liked the Princess' broad smile - it was a bit My-Fair-Lady-like, this "no contenance" and all, but really refreshing.

But now there is a completely different situation! A Prince, a Son of a Queen and Brother to the King, he might end up in the big house, Mr. Andrew Mounbatten-Windsor. And with this the whole Monarchy becomes a topic to discussions, the whole system!

All the good work the Wales family has done so far is under scrutiny perhaps.

So, what can they do about it?

Their public appearences are no Kabuki theater, to show their true feeling with their body language, but...

It is surely a really difficult situation!

This part reminds me of what the late DoE used to do:

Yes , remember he encouraged Catherine to become involved when she was out with both the Duke and the Late Queen in the early days of her marriage to William.

 

[Maryrose]

I wonder if Prince William reached out privately to Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo after the BAFTAs.

 

[Bubbly]

I don't think he should, because it might be seen as taking sides and IMO it doesn't seem that there are really sides in this case, when it comes to the three individuals. I think he should wait for the investigation first.

 

[tommy100]

I strongly suspect he will keep well out of it.
