Judi James claimed
Prince William and Kate Middleton seemed slightly anxious during their night on the town. "Their arms hang freely at their sides to suggest assertive confidence, but William's right hand appears to show some tension and fiddling of the fingers," she told
The Mirror. "His hair and beard have been trimmed closer than usual in a more fashionable look. When Kate and William perform their red carpet smiles here, there appears to be some slight edge-to-edge clenching of the teeth, hinting at an air of resolve rather than a completely relaxed approach to the event."

Despite any family drama they may be dealing with,
Prince William and Kate Middleton still turned heads. "Their red carpet appearance shows William and Kate at their A-list best, upstaging the Hollywood celebrities with their own display of dazzling glamour and elegance," Judi James said. "The subtly matching outfits radiate messages of being one bonded unit and a royal power couple and Kate in particular looks keen to signal regal confidence and unflappable stoicism."

Prince William hinted at strife behind the scenes with his disgraced uncle
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor when speaking about how much Kate Middleton enjoyed the movie
Hamnet. "I can't watch it yet. I need to be in quite a calm state and I'm not at the moment. I will save it," the father of three said in a video shared to
X.

The Firm has been in damage control since Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office for allegedly giving information to
Jeffrey Epstein during his time as trade envoy. Before the former Duke of York was taken into custody,
Prince William and Kate Middleton issued a statement on the U.S. Department of Justice revealing more information about Andrew's ties to the late criminal. "I can confirm the Prince and Princess have been deeply concerned by the continuing revelations. Their thoughts remain focused on the victims," their representative said via
People.
