Prince William and Princess Catherine attended the BAFTAs shortly after news emerged of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest.
The Prince and Princess of Wales made a stunning appearance at the Royal Festival Hall in London for the yearly film awards ceremony.
This is the first time they’ve been seen together publicly since Andrew was arrested Thursday morning on accusations of wrongdoing while holding public office.
Kate and William appeared happy and coordinated, both wearing outfits that complemented each other. Kate wore a pale pink dress with a burgundy belt, and William sported a blazer in a similar shade.
This public appearance is happening at a difficult moment for the Royal Family, as people are increasingly asking King Charles to share what he knew about the accusations against Prince Andrew before his arrest.
The King released a surprising statement offering his full support and cooperation with the investigation involving Prince Andrew, just hours after Andrew was taken into custody on Thursday. Sources say Buckingham Palace was unaware that the Prince would be arrested.
The King has expressed his deep concern upon learning about allegations of misconduct in public office involving Prince Andrew.
Here’s how this issue will be investigated: it will follow a complete, fair, and correct process, handled by the right people and organizations. As I’ve stated previously, we fully support and will cooperate with their work.
‘Let me state clearly: the law must take its course.’
William and Kate are understood to support the King’s statement.
