Hollywood megastar Brad Pitt left the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in awkward laughter as he poked fun at the recent British scandal, Megxit. He may have remained MIA from the 71st British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs), but still managed to be the centre of attention.
During the star-studded glitzy affair, the 56-year-old Ad Astra actor bagged away another win over his remarkable performance in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and despite his absence, he still left the crowd, including the Duke and Duchess chuckling over his wit and humor.

“He is going to name this [award] Harry because he is really excited about bringing it back to the States with him,” she joked.

At the event, the Duchess was a sight to behold in her white and gold Alexander McQueen dress that she had previously worn during her Malaysia tour in 2012.

The same is the case with Prince William and Prince Harry of Britain’s royal family.

A large number of royal family’s followers hailed Meghan Markle’s and Prince Harry’s decision to abandon the toxicity and negativity to start afresh.
