Prince William and Princess Kate react to Margot Robbie’s Harry and Meghan jibe
The Prince and Princess of Wales were caught on camera reacting as Hollywood star Margot Robbie made a jibe at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in a resurfaced clip.
Margot Robbie delivered a joke about Prince Harry during her 2020 BAFTA speech, sending the crowd into a fit of giggles.
The clip has since resurfaced – as has Prince Williamand Kate Middleton’s reaction. Margot took to the stage three years ago to accept an award on behalf of Brad Pitt. She began by saying the actor had been unable to attend the ceremony due to “family obligations”, meaning she was tasked with receiving his Best Supporting Actor gong for his role in One Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Throughout the speech there were a number of jokes, but a specific one regarding the Duke of Sussexbrought onlookers to a chuckle. The jibe in question related to his decision to exit the royal family and relocate with wife Meghan Markle to California.
Margot delivered the closing joke while holding the award aloft. “He says that he’s going to name this Harry because he’s really excited about bringing it back to the States with him. His words, not mine!” she exclaimed.
Laughter was heard throughout the room as cameras panned in on Will and Kate’s reaction in the front row. Naturally, the pair seemed unflappable and took it in their stride, laughing along with the audience.
The resurfaced video comes after news that The Prince and Princess of Wales are set to launch a “very exciting” new mental health initiative later this year, continuing their passionate advocacy for the cause. Prince William and Princess Kate have consistently put their weight behind mental health awareness, investing time and effort into various supportive projects.
