In his speech, Prince William said, “It’s wonderful for me to be here to celebrate the work you are doing to champion the arts and creativity. The screen arts are such an important part of our lives.”
“As President of BAFTA, I am very proud to be involved with an organization that is dedicated to breaking down barriers for the storytellers of the future... It’s fantastic,” he added.
Encouraging his guests to keep bringing engrossing tales to the public, the Prince of Wales noted that he’ll be following their careers.
