Despite his enthusiasm for Nolan's work, the Prince admitted he hadn't yet seen the box-office hit 'Barbie', stating, "I haven't watched Barbie yet, but I want to." As the president of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts since 2010, William also lauded the quality of British films and female directors in the past year. He mentioned plans to create watch lists for himself and his wife, the Princess of Wales, to catch up on the noteworthy films of the evening.

Post-ceremony, he engaged in discussions with director Jonathan Glazer and producer James Wilson about their BAFTA-nominated film 'The Zone of Interest', emphasizing the importance of passing down such stories to future generations.

The statement informed the public of the successful surgery and indicated that Middleton would remain in the hospital for ten to fourteen days before continuing her recovery at home. It was also mentioned that she was unlikely to resume public duties until after Easter, underscoring her desire for privacy regarding her medical condition.
