Kate Middleton, who is planning a gradual return to public duties, is highly anticipated to make a special appearance with her husband Prince William.
The Princess of Wales, who persevered through her cancer journey last year, will make her biggest comeback yet as she is handed new roles and responsibilities, insiders have revealed.
After skipping a key event for British film and television last year, plans are in place to convince Kate to attend this year.
Prince William, who is president of the British Academy Film and Television Arts Awards (BAFTA), appeared alone as Kate was currently recovering from stomach surgery.
“BAFTA has a close relationship with William and Kate and is pulling out all the stops to try to ensure Kate’s presence at this year’s awards,” said a well-placed insider. The Daily Mail. “When she revealed her cancer diagnosis, she sent her best wishes and hopes she will appear with William in what will be her big return to showbiz since her recovery.”
The source added that the committee can do “anything” to work around Kate, they are willing to do it.
“William and Kate love to watch pre-nominated movies and we know Kate loves meeting people who work in the film industry. We’re told she won’t want to miss it, so she’ll be there with William. Hoping to be.
BAFTA film committee chairman Anna Higgs is “very optimistic” that Kate will join William at London’s Royal Festival Hall on February 16.
