Margot Robbie, known for her acting prowess, showcased her sharp sense of humor at the 2020 BAFTA Awards, leaving the audience in stitches with a quip that has recently resurfaced, capturing the attention of fans and royal enthusiasts alike.
A recently resurfaced video has sparked fresh attention as it captures the responses of Prince William and Kate Middleton to Robbie’s comedic flair. The actress graced the stage three years ago to accept an award on Brad Pitt’s behalf. Infusing her speech with wit, she humorously cited “family obligations” as the reason for Pitt’s absence, laying the foundation for a memorable and engaging address.
Among the various amusing remarks, it was Robbie’s playful jab at Prince Harry that garnered significant laughter. Her joke revolved around Harry’s decision to step away from royal duties and relocate with Meghan Markle to California.
With a mischievous grin, Robbie shared Pitt’s words: “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!” Laughter rippled through the audience, while cameras caught Prince William and Kate Middleton’s amiable response from their prominent front-row seats.
The video recently resurfaced on platforms like TikTok, and has garnered over 70,000 likes. Users have applauded the royal couple for their composed response to the humorous jab, with one user describing them as “good sports” and another noting Kate’s genuine enjoyment of the moment.
Margot Robbie’s ability to infuse her speeches with humor and the royals’ affable response highlights the universal appeal of laughter, transcending even the formalities of royalty. In a world often marked by seriousness, these moments of shared laughter remind us of the power of humor to bridge gaps and foster connections.
