And we cannot wait!
Award season is in full swing, with the SAG awards taking place just this week and the Grammy awards in touching distance.
But it wasn’t Emily Blunt’s iconic win or the alleged leaked Grammys winners list that got the world talking today, instead it was the BAFTAs, or rather – its guest list.
The British Academy Film and Television Awards is set to return to the Royal Albert Hall on 10 February, but it was announced today that it won’t just be A-listers taking to the red carpet, it will be royalty too.
Yes, Prince William and Kate Middleton have confirmed their attendance.

‘The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will attend the #EEBAFTAs Awards ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall on Sunday 10th February,’ the official Kensington Palace Twitter account announced this morning.
And while this is hardly surprising – given the fact that Prince William is the President of BAFTA, it seems he has a special job this year – and everyone is very excited.
‘The Duke, @BAFTA President, and The Duchess will meet BAFTA representatives and watch the ceremony,’ the statement continued. ‘The Duke will also present the Fellowship award.’
Like we needed another reason to tune into the BAFTAs!
Now we officially cannot wait.
