Kate Middleton and Prince William are spending their evening with the stars at the 2019 BAFTA Awards in London. The royal couple has just arrived at the award ceremony: William in a suit and Kate dressed elegantly in a white asymmetrical gown with flower embellishments. Ian West - PA Images Getty Images Ian West - PA Images Getty Images Kate and William were last at the BAFTA Awards together in 2018. Kate wore a emerald green Jenny Packham dress with a thin black sash around the waist. The choice was being avidly watched because many hoped the Duchess of Cambridge would join the other stars there in wearing all black in support of the Time's Up movement. She showed her support more subtly, instead: Karwai Tang Getty Images She and William also attended the awards together in 2017. Kate did wear black on that occasion, choosing an off-the-shoulder print Alexander McQueen gown: Karwai Tang Getty Images Kate and William's red carpet appearance tonight comes after Kate stepped out earlier this week for visits to two London schools for Place2Be’s Children's Mental Health Week. She wore a bright green Eponine London shift dress for the events. Karwai Tang Getty Images Kate also hosted a private dinner at Kensington Palace later in the week, according to the Court Circular, which lists every royal's events. Next week, Kate will have another ritzy evening event where she'll be able to dress up: The Duchess of Cambridge is set to attend the 100 Women in Finance's gala dinner at the V&A Museum in London on Wednesday, which will support Heads Together's Mentally Healthy Schools program. Her appearance will come one day after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attend a gala performance of The Wider Earth on Tuesday.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have braved the cold to walk down the red carpet at the Royal Albert Hall in Kensington, London. It is said Kate, 37, is wearing Princess Diana's favourite earrings for the function. In a fitting tribute to William's late mum, Kate chose the same South Sea Pearl accessories Diana herself wore to a concert at Royal Albert Hall in 1991. Kate was snapped showing her right shoulder in the Alexander McQueen dress with floral motif. She chose Sarah Burton, Alexander McQueen’s current creative director, to design her lace wedding dress in 2011 and wore a pink number by the designer's director for sister Pippa's wedding in 2017.

The mum-of-three coupled the gown with dazzling Jimmy Choo heels, said to be worth a whopping £525, and held a delicate clutch bag. Fans who had gathered outside the Royal Albert Hall screamed as the royals arrived. They were greeted at the entrance by the venue's chief executive Craig Hassall. William wore a black dinner suit for the occasion, a short journey from Kensington Palace.

The royal couple have attended the awards ceremony every year since William was made President in 2010. The father-of-three will present the Academy's highest accolade, the Fellowship. Joanna Lumley, who herself won the Fellowship two years ago and has won two BAFTA TV gongs, is hosting the star-studded ceremony. The BAFTAs are on BBC1 this evening.

Kate and William also met some of the actors who play their family members on The Crown, which was also very awkward. Yeah, the moment Kate Middleton and Prince William met the actress who plays Queen Elizabeth II in The Crown was incredibly uncomfy, but I see you that moment and raise you one that's 1,000 times more awkward. At the BAFTA Awards, all regular degular guests were seated in the theater before Will and Kate made their grand entrance, which was extremely weird. Please, feast your eyes on the strangest 30 seconds of your life: This content is imported from YouTube.

Are people not allowed to clap for the Duke and Duchess? Or could the BAFTAs peeps not play some walking instrumental music for them? There are so many unanswered questions, but Kate did make a little side comment, so we do know exactly how she felt in the moment. After she took her seat, you can see Kate turn toward William, laugh, and say, "It's so quiet!" William and the woman next to him must've agreed because they both started chuckling along with Kate.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrive at the 72nd British Academy Film Awards. #EEBAFTAs #RoyalFamily pic.twitter.com/V8e1yzaQjh — The Royal Family Channel (@RoyalFamilyITNP) February 10, 2019 No matter how weird this entrance was, it's apparently de rigueur for the royals because Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were greeted in a similar fashion at a gala yesterday. Royal protocol is weird, you guys.

Prince William and Kate Middleton turned heads as they arrived at the 2019 BAFTA Film Awards on Sunday evening at Royal Albert Hall in London. For the special occasion, the Duchess of Cambridge donned silver Jimmy Choo 'Viola' heels, a gorgeous white, one-shoulder McQueen gown with her hair pulled back. Kate also appeared to be wearing the late Princess Diana's earrings. The royals are in attendance at the ceremony, honoring the year's best work in the film industry, so William, the president of the British Academy Film Awards, can present the Fellowship award. Among other attendees at the award ceremony include nominees Melissa McCarthy, Olivia Colman, Timothée Chalamet and Amy Adams. Later on in the ceremony, BlackkKlansman, The Favourite, Green Book, ROMA or A Star Is Born will be announced as the winner of Best Film.<doc-sep>
Prince William and Duchess Kate made a glamorous appearance at the BAFTA Awards on Sunday, adding a royal touch to the star-studded ceremony. The duo stunned on the red carpet—especially Kate in her flowy white Alexander McQueen gown—but once they entered the show inside London's Royal Albert Hall, things quieted down quickly. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's entrance was announced by an MC and the crowd rose to greet the couple as they entered the room, according to a video shared by Royal Family Channel above. But aside from the snapping of the photographers' cameras, the venue was dead quiet as the duo walked down the stairs and approached their seats in the front row. TIM IRELAND Getty Images Some guests smiled at the couple (like The Crown's Claire Foy, who played William's grandmother, the Queen, on screen), and some pulled out their phones to snap pictures, but no one really made a sound. Kate commented on the silence once she reached her chair. "It's so quiet!" she whispered with a laugh to a woman standing a couple of rows behind her. William appeared to make a comment, too. The quietness was likely a display of royal decorum, as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were similarly greeted by a standing but quiet audience at their gala performance today. WPA Pool Getty Images Things picked back up at the BAFTAs once the Cambridges took their seats and the rest of the crowd followed. William and Kate appeared to continue chuckling about the awkward silence once the program resumed. Fans on Twitter also pointed out the lack of noise. Loving Kate calling out the awkwardness of it being so quiet LOL https://t.co/mC0hhHDZGm — MT (@M_10CA) February 10, 2019 Uh, way too quiet. Why no applause? Is the crowd making some sort of statement? I’m an American so pardon my ignorance on royal protocal. ❤️ — Carpe Diem (@SeizeTheDayMD) February 10, 2019 Once the ceremony was over, Prince William (who is president of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts) and Duchess Kate got to meet some of the nominees and winners, including Olivia Colman of The Favourite (who'll also play the Queen in upcoming season of The Crown), Bradley Cooper, the cast of Roma, and more.
