The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were reportedly really pissed when Brad Pitt and Rebel Wilson poked fun at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal exit and the Prince Andrew scandal.

AceShowbiz - Prince William and Kate Middleton were not really smiling when stars were making jokes about the royal family at the BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Awards at London's Royal Albert Hall Sunday night, February 2. The couple was reportedly taken aback by and pissed at Brad Pitt and Rebel Wilson's quips about Megxit and the Prince Andrew scandal.

"The feedback is that many of the stars stepped out of line in front of the patron, which is the Duke of Cambridge," U.K. media commentator Neil Sean told Fox News. "William is a huge supporter of films and spoke openly in his speech about the lack of diversity at the awards."

Neil noted that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were "offended the most" by Rebel's jokes. Taking the stage to present the Best Director award, the "Pitch Perfect" star said, "It is really great to be here at the Royal Andrew... uh, Royal Harry, no, at this royal palace place," referencing William's uncle and younger brother, respectively.

Brad who didn't attend the event due to "family obligations," meanwhile, wrote in a speech delivered by his "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" co-star Margot Robbie that he's going to name his award "Harry because he is really excited about bringing it back to the States with him."

While William and Kate were seen smiling on the camera at the jokes, their reactions were reportedly edited. "This was not met with the smiling faces that you saw on the final edited version of the show," Neil claimed.

Due to William and Kate's awkward experience at the BAFTA, Neil said the royals will now "have a 'moral clause' inserted into their acceptance agreement ensuring that due reverence is given to the royal couple who gave their time and support to such a wonderful celebration of film and is respected," to "ensure that the royals are not embarrassed or made fun of again at such a prestigious event like this one."
