Kate Middleton Trades Her Red Carpet BAFTAs Gown for a Luxe Beach Vacation Bikini

Prince William and Kate Middleton on a beach in front of a palm tree, they are both wearing sunglasses, William wears a light blue shirt and Kate wears a dark blue dress with floral pattern.

Despite Prince William's role as BAFTA president, neither he nor Kate Middleton will be in attendance at this year's awards ceremony red carpet on Sunday, Feb. 16. While royal fans will undoubtedly be disappointed to miss a red carpet sighting of Princess Kate wearing a designer gown, the couple apparently has a very good reason for skipping the 2025 BAFTAs.

According to The Mail on Sunday, William, Kate, and their three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—have jetted off on a luxury family vacation. The prince and princess's three kids are currently on a school break, which led the family to book a trip to beloved royal destination, Mustique. The private Caribbean island was a favorite of Princess Margaret, and the Middletons have also enjoyed multiple stays on Mustique in recent years.
