Prince William, Kate Middleton Skip 2025 BAFTAs for Family Holiday

The 2025 BAFTAs were notably absent the Prince and Princess of Wales, who chose to prioritize family time during their children's winter school holidays on the private Caribbean island of Mustique. This decision marked a departure from their usual attendance at the prestigious ceremony, where Prince William serves as president. While they missed the event, William participated remotely with a pre-recorded message. The couple's holiday was confirmed to be a relaxing getaway, as they traveled with their three children, a tradition for the family during school breaks. This year also saw the royals taking a ski trip in January, making this their second vacation of the year. Their absence from the BAFTAs sparked discussions about their commitment to balancing royal duties with family life.
