Prince William has admitted that he's watched fewer films than usual this year ahead of his appearance at the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs).
His confession comes as his wife Kate Middleton recovers from her recent abdominal surgery. Upon his arrival at the ceremony, William, 41, apologised to Elaine Bedell, chief executive of the Southbank centre, for his last-minute decision to attend, and for the fact that has not managed to watch all of the films being awarded tonight.
When asked if he'd seen many of the 38 films up for awards, he said: "I've done the fewest I've ever done before, with my wife it's been a bit - hopefully we'll catch up." He added that he would be making a list of films to watch throughout the night.
William, who has been the President of the BAFTAs since 2010, told the BBC that he is a "big fan" of Christopher Nolan and that he will be “pleased” if Oppenheimer, which is nominated for 13 BAFTAs receives an award.
