The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge steal the show at BAFTAs
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have dazzled on the BAFTAs red carpet for the second year in a row and once again stole the show.
The royal couple, who are expecting their third child in April, took a night away from the kids as they arrived at London’s Royal Albert Hall to celebrate the UK’s best and brightest in film and TV.
As usual, all eyes were on Kate, who showed off her bump in a flowing, dark green Jenny Packham gown, paired with an emerald necklace and matching earrings and a black velvet clutch.
But although everyone agreed she looked stunning, some took aim at the Duchess for opting to wear colour, despite this year’s dress code of black in support of the #TimesUp movement, to show solidarity with victims of sexual harassment.
However, there’s a reason why Kate couldn’t have followed the lead of her fellow attendees – even if she wanted to. You see, members of the royal family are not permitted to take political stances on any issues.
Despite this, some believe the Duchess has included her own subtle nod to the movement by wearing a green dress (a colour on the Suffragette flag which represents hope) accessorised with a black velvet waistband and matching clutch.
