The Prince and Princess of Wales attended the Baftas at Royal Festival Hall on Sunday night
February 19, 2023 - 19:47 GMT Danielle Stacey The Prince of Wales looked visibly emotional as Dame Helen Mirren paid a special tribute to his late grandmother Queen Elizabeth II at Sunday night's Baftas.
Prince William appeared to have tears in his eyes during Dame Helen's tribute as he and Kate appeared at the bash as guests of honour. The Queen, who died at the age of 96 in September 2022, had a close association with the Academy which spanned 50 years and saw her donate and support initiatives, as well as attend many events over the years.
The renaming of the organisation occurred during the official opening of the headquarters in 1976, which was conducted by the Queen, and remains the London home of Bafta five decades on.
