Kensington Palace confirmed on via twitter Friday, January 24, 2020 that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be attending the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards this year.
Royal fans have been excited to see what the Duchess will wear, however, this year’s Award will feature sustainability. So attendees will not wear new dresses as they are expected to recycle outfits from their already existing wardrobe.
The event holds February, 2 and are working to reduce its
environmental footprint in 2020.
A spokesperson to Harper’s Bazaar said; “Sustainability is very
important to Bafta, and we’re doing more than ever before. The goal is that the EE British Academy Film Awards 2020 will
be carbon neutral, working towards having a net positive impact on the
environment. From travel and food, to branding and materials, Bafta is ensuring
the awards are as sustainable as possible.”
Kensington Palace tweeted with a photo of the couple and it captioned:
“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will attend the EE British Academy Film
Awards ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall on Sunday 2nd February.”
In response, Amanda Berry OBE, Chief Executive of BAFTA, said: “We are
so pleased the Duke and Duchess will join us to celebrate another outstanding
year in film. This year marks the Duke’s tenth year as BAFTA’s President and
his involvement has been invaluable to the work we do, from launching our
global new talent activity in 2011, to supporting the BAFTA Scholarships
programme and assisting with the most far-reaching fundraising campaign BAFTA
has ever undertaken. We are immensely grateful to Their Royal Highnesses for
their continued support and we look forward to welcoming them to the Film
Awards on Sunday 2 February.”
Prince William will be President of BAFTA for the tenth year in row and will have the support of his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton.
