The Bafta Awards ceremony is always a star-studded event, but this year it boasts the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as its most famous guests.
They arrived last, after all the celebrities, on to an empty red carpet.
Kate was a show-stopper in an off-the-shoulder, Jacquard-patterned dress by Alexander McQueen. To show off the dress's Bardot neckline, the Duchess opted for a coiffed up 'do and accessorised with glittering diamond earrings.
"Many of the A-listers are used to being the biggest deal in the room, but royalty is altogether different," a source close to the show told the tabloid.
"They're not celebrities in the same way and bosses are taking no chances."
Bafta told the paper: Bafta told Metro.co.uk: "As stated in our guidelines for guests, we ask them to behave respectfully when attending the awards".

Earlier this year, there were reports the royals were banned lest they steal the limelight.
However, the organisers roundly denied this.
"For clarity - this is nonsense. As we confirmed last night it's completely untrue that BAFTA has suggested that our President attend on his own," Bafta said in a statement.
"We would be delighted to welcome Their Royal Highnesses any year that they are able to attend."
