Prince William showed he can take a joke at the BAFTAs 2024, as he laughed along with a Ted Lasso star's Royal Family jokes - including one made at his own expense.The Prince of Wales, 41, was at the glamorous event at London's Royal Festival Hall on Sunday night as President of the Academy, a role he's held since 2010.

The 41 year old royal watched as the team behind the film Oppenheimer dominated the night, bagging seven awards out of its 13 nominations.The show was hosted by Doctor Who star David Tennant, 52, who kept the audience entertained throughout the evening with his jokes and announcements.

Other celebrities also got laughs when they took to the stage to announce categories and declare the winners. But it was comedian Nick Mohammed, 43, who had the audience in stitches with a joke about Prince William, who attended the ceremony without wife Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales.The comedian, who plays Nathan Shelley in the hit show Ted Lasso, told the crowd that if there was an emergency, he himself would be the first to be evacuated, followed by the BAFTA trophies, winners, nominees, publicists, everyone else, and influencers.

He then remembered to include the royals, saying: "Oh! And the royals! Sorry. Sorry! Sorry!" The camera then showed Prince William - who was seated beside Cate Blanchett - laughing along with everyone else.
