If there\u2019s one thing you can almost<\/em> always count on, it\u2019s an appearance by at least one member of the royal family at the annual British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards (BAFTAs). Sadly, however, this year might not follow the same pattern. Neither Prince William nor Kate Middleton will be making a glamorous appearance,<\/a> but that won\u2019t stop us from taking a walk down memory lane.<\/p>\n

Before this year, however,\u00a0there have been many enchanting royal appearances at the BAFTAs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Of the five presidents who have presided over the annual awards over the BAFTAs\u2019 seven decades of existence, four have been members of the royal family.<\/p>\n

Prince William has presided as president of the BAFTAs since 2010, and prior to his occupation of the leadership position, Princess Anne<\/a> oversaw the awards from 1973 to 2001, and prior to her<\/em> occupation of the role, Prince Philip<\/a> was appointed president from 1959 to 1965 \u2014 he was actually the first person to fill the prestigious position.<\/p>\n

While there aren\u2019t any in 2026, the British royals usually make this a go-to date night!<\/p>\n

Below, see which royals have been at the BAFTA Film Awards over the years.<\/p>\n
