She also attracted criticism for handing the Doctor Who star Noel Clarke an outstanding contribution to cinema award in April last year shortly before sexual misconduct allegations against him came to light. It comes three months after Ms Berry resigned from Bafta - an acronym for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts - amid claims she had become 'over-familiar' with the royals. 'I am looking forward to working with The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, along with the trustees and staff to continue this important work.' I'm saving my voice for the sequel to Cats.' But don't worry, I'm not gonna do it, I'm not gonna sing. It was on roller skates, it's called Pizza Express. Um, no guys, it's no, it's not what you think. She also poked fun at Prince Andrew regarding the infamous reference he made to visiting a Pizza Express in Woking during his 2019 BBC Newsnight interview, saying: 'So I was going to do a musical number as host, it was about Prince Andrew though. Unfortunately, that's not nominated in this category, but some incredible films are.' Meghan's biographer Omid Scobie tweeted today that William had worked with Ms Berry 'on a number of occasions', adding that his inaugural Earthshot Prize was yesterday nominated for the 'Best Live TV Event' Bafta.ĭuring this year's Baftas, which William could not attend due to 'diary constraints', host Rebel Wilson made a joke about Harry and Meghan's 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, saying: 'From drama to fantasy, Harry and Meghan's Oprah interview had it all. Her extensive experience will be of tremendous value as we continue our ambitious charitable work.' William and Kate, who are regulars on the red carpet at the Bafta awards each year, said in a statement: 'We are very much looking forward to working with Amanda and are thrilled that she has chosen to join us at the Royal Foundation. But Kensington Palace has now revealed today that Ms Berry will take up her new post at the Royal Foundation in June this year - the same month when the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations are planned. When Ms Berry's exit was announced last December, the organisation said she did not intend to step down until autumn 2023. Richard Fitzwilliams, a commentator both on the Royal Family and the film industry, told MailOnline today that the new appointment was 'an inspired one for the future of the monarchy which the Cambridges and their children represent' and said Ms Berry was 'a pragmatic and dedicated moderniser' who had a 'remarkable' record at Bafta. Mr Knauf, the ex-communications secretary to Prince Harry and Meghan, was at the centre of claims that Meghan had bullied palace staff, and made a formal complaint that prompted an internal inquiry. Mr Knauf, who famously accused Meghan Markle of bullying, was said to have reluctantly quit after his husband took up a diplomatic position overseas. Ms Berry will replace Jason Knauf who stepped down at the end of 2021. The 60-year-old from Darlington announced three months ago that she was leaving Bafta and she is known to be very friendly with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge thanks to William being the organisation's president. Prince William and Kate Middleton today appointed former Bafta boss Amanda Berry as the new chief executive for their charitable Royal Foundation in what experts said was an 'inspired' choice.
