It appeared to be a long, awkward walk for the couple, who were led to the first row to take their seats.
It led Kate to be heard saying: "It's so quiet" - before William issued her a quick instruction and added: "Let's sit down quickly."
After the 2020 ceremony, the royal couple were noticeably absent from the BAFTAs for two years.

The following year, William then gave a virtual address but didn't attend.
Kensington Palace released a statement saying the couple were not able to attend in person due to "diary constraints".
