Prince William and Princess Kate made their first public appearance since Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest, attending the 2026 BAFTAs on Sunday, February 22. Although the couple avoided talk of William’s uncle on the red carpet, the Prince of Wales noted that he hadn’t watched historical tearjerker Hamnet because felt he needed “to be in quite a calm state, and I am not at the moment.”
After the former Duke of York was arrested last week, it’s no wonder the Prince of Wales “is not feeling calm,” as a source told the Daily Mail. Andrew, who formerly served as a trade envoy for the U.K., was taken into custody on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The ex-duke was arrested after emails allegedly showed he shared confidential documents with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
