The prince mentioned amongst the crowd, “Thankfully, I passed first time.” Meanwhile, as the BAFTA ceremony commenced in collaboration with the Royal African Society, the Prince of Wales talked about the importance of young people in the film industry while being a father of three young children himself. The royal addressed his statements to Erik Scott, a National Film and TV School student, and the young audience present at the venue.

At the event conducted in 2022, the Duke of Cornwell revealed much exposure and opportunity in the field of creative arts; his eldest son is quite interested in gaming.

While giving a speech at the event, Prince William said, “The screen arts are such an important part of the fabric of our lives, allowing different voices and perspectives to be accessed and enjoyed in the comfort of our own homes.”
The Prince of Wales concluded his speech by stating that he is thrilled to be a part of an organization that provides opportunities to future storytellers and young minds.
