Prince William Skips BAFTA for Caribbean Getaway with Family

Prince William, President of BAFTA, and Princess Kate will not attend this year's BAFTA Film Awards. The couple opted for a family vacation on the exclusive island of Mustique during their children's half-term break. They reportedly flew commercial to St. Lucia before heading to Mustique, where Kate's mother, Carole Middleton, is also vacationing. The decision comes after Kate's recent return to public duties following her cancer remission. Their absence also avoids potential awkward moments, as past BAFTAs ceremonies have included jokes at the royal family's expense.
