Prince William and Kate Middleton made a stunning appearance at the 2026 BAFTAs, but beneath the glamour, William revealed he’s not in a “calm state” due to the current turmoil in the royal family.
On Sunday, February 22, Prince William and Kate Middleton stepped out for the 2026 BAFTAs, marking their first public appearance since the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The couple’s presence on the red carpet was met with enthusiasm, but it was Prince William’s candid comments about his mental state that truly captured the attention of the audience.
When asked about the film Hamnet, Prince William confessed that he hadn’t watched it, citing his current mental state as the reason. “I need to be in quite a calm state and I am not at the moment. I will save it,” he said, offering a rare glimpse into his personal struggles amidst the royal family’s turmoil.
Kate Middleton, on the other hand, had seen Hamnet and was deeply moved by it, admitting that it left her in “floods of tears.” She praised the film’s presentation of intergenerational grief and its beautifully shot scenes, as well as the fantastic score.
The couple’s conversation about films and their viewing habits provided a moment of levity, but it was Prince William’s openness about his mental state that underscored the challenges the royal family is currently facing. With the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and the subsequent fallout, it’s clear that the family is navigating a particularly difficult period.
