The 2024 BAFTA Awards ceremony was held this February 18 at the Royal Festival Hall in London. As is tradition, they have had the presence of Prince William of England, but with the great absence of Kate Middleton, who has not been able to accompany her husband as she is recovering from abdominal surgery that she underwent a month ago. .
The heir to the British throne, who has been a regular at this gala since taking over as honorary president of the British Film Academy in 2010, attended alone this year, demonstrating his commitment to film despite his personal circumstances. .
His arrival was one of the most anticipated moments of the night. And, as expected, she has dedicated a few words to Middleton. Without giving details about his state of health, he has admitted that this mishap has prevented him from seeing as many films as in other years: "I have seen less than ever. With my wife it has been a little. But I hope we catch up, I will do my ready tonight."
Kate's surgery has generated numerous speculations about its nature, with rumors ranging from possible Crohn's disease to more serious concerns such as cancer, the latter quickly denied by the Royal House so that there were no rumors in this direction.
Despite the lack of official details about the procedure and recovery, interest in the princess's health has not diminished. What's more, there is increasing nervousness to find out what has happened. For the moment, the specialized press in the British Royal House is being very respectful of this matter.
Although she has not attended the BAFTAs and an official silence has been established, everything seems to indicate that Kate Middleton's recovery is progressing at a good pace. The recent trip to Anmer Hall with William and his children points to a gradual return to normality, and comments from experts in the Royal Family such as Jennie Bond describe this development as a positive sign.
