Ahead of the ceremony, Kensington Palace said that the couple would not be able to attend the awards due to “diary constraints”.
The ceremony was held virtually in 2021 due to the pandemic, and while William had been due to record a video message, he was forced to pull out after the death of his grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh.
It was the first time William had missed the prestigious ceremony since his appointment as president of the British Academy of Film & Television Arts in 2010.
