Prince William is dealing with a lot, but you wouldn’t know it, says one royal expert.

William’s wife, Princess Kate, is home recovering from her abdominal surgery, and his father, King Charles, is undergoing treatment for cancer.

He made his way to the BAFTA Film Awards ceremony last night, and he carried himself “as if nothing was wrong,” says royal biographer Angela Levin.

Ms Levin appeared on GB News, saying, “He’s so dignified, but he was appearing as if nothing was wrong.”

She adds: “He didn’t want to spoil it for other people he didn’t want to look harassed, or miserable, or concerned.”

One might look at the photos or the broadcast and think it’s a fun, night out, but it is work for the Prince of Wales, and he takes it seriously, says Levin.

She explains what she means by that: “He wanted to be in that job, he’s been principle since 2010, and he wanted to do what’s been expected of him.”

On a lighter note, Levin was quite keen on how the prince showed up, dressed to impress.

“His shoes shun brilliantly, he looked very smart, he was smiling, and he was very respectable and you think, he’s heir to the throne, that’s absolutely brilliant.”

Yes, Ms Levin, that James Bond-like prince you see on the red carpet is your future king.
