Robbie took the stage at Sunday’s awards show to accept the mask for Best Supporting Actor on Behalf of her _Once Upon a Time in Hollywood_ costar — who couldn’t be there due to “family obligations” — and delivered Pitt’s speech for him. In typical Pitt fashion, the speech opened with a joke, this one about Brexit, that got the audience laughing. “Hey Britain. Heard you just became single,” Robbie quipped. “Welcome to the club!” After thanking a number of people that Pitt deemed responsible for his success, Robbie closed with a zinger about Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex recently announcing that they will begin splitting their time between the U.K. and North America after [stepping back as “senior” royals](https://time.com/5761547/prince-harry-meghan-markle-step-back-senior-royals/). “Oh, and he says that he is going to name this ‘Harry,'” Robbie said, referencing the trophy. “‘Cause he is really excited about bringing it back to the States with him. His words not mine!” The camera, of course, immediately cut to Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, who were seen giggling in the audience at Pitt’s jest. Watch the full of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s reaction in the clip below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5776781/bafta-awards-2020-margot-robbie-prince-harry-joke/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5776781/bafta-awards-2020-margot-robbie-prince-harry-joke/"},"headline":"Margot Robbie Worked in a Prince Harry Joke at the 2020 BAFTA Awards and Here's Kate Middleton and Prince William's Giggly Reaction","datePublished":"2020-02-03T14:59:48.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:01:16.064Z","description":"Robbie stepped in to speak for her Once Upon a Time in Hollywood costar Brad Pitt","url":"https://time.com/5776781/bafta-awards-2020-margot-robbie-prince-harry-joke/","keywords":["Newsfeed","awards","royals","onetime","clickmonsters"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt60b3ae1d59a3bce9/698a09a5457a52f990d637af/Margot-Robbie-BAFTAs-2020.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt60b3ae1d59a3bce9/698a09a5457a52f990d637af/Margot-Robbie-BAFTAs-2020.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Margot-Robbie-BAFTAs-2020","caption":"Margot Robbie attends the BAFTAs 2020 After Party at The Grosvenor House Hotel in London, England on February 02, 2020.","creditText":"Stuart C.
