Prince William Pulls Out Of Memorial Service For Late King Constantine Of Greece

Prince William has made the difficult decision to withdraw from a memorial service honouring the late King Constantine of Greece. The Prince of Wales was scheduled to give a reading at the event, which is taking place at Windsor Castle this morning.

Queen Camilla is leading members of the Royal Family in attendance, as King Charles is unable to join them due to his ongoing cancer treatment. Kensington Palace has stated that Prince William’s absence is due to a personal matter but did not provide further details.

Meanwhile, the Princess of Wales, who is recovering from abdominal surgery, is reported to be doing well. The Prince of Wales took the time to call the Greek royal family, who were also attending the service, to inform them of his inability to attend.

The late King Constantine of Greece, who passed away in January of last year, held a special place in Prince William’s life as his godfather.

Charles, who is currently undergoing cancer treatment, will, unfortunately, miss the service at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, which is being held in honour of his close friend and second cousin, Constantine II, the former ruler and last king of Greece.

Constantine II, who was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer earlier this month, is currently not carrying out public duties as he receives treatment. The late King Constantine had a remarkable friendship with Charles, having been chosen as a godfather for his son William, who is now the Prince of Wales.

Furthermore, Constantine II was also the godfather to the daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, Lady Gabriella Kingston. His passing at the age of 82 last year marked the end of an era, as he had been overthrown from the throne in a military coup decades earlier.

While the reasons behind Prince William’s withdrawal remain private, it is important to respect his need for privacy during this time. The Royal Family appreciates the public’s understanding and well-wishes as they come together to commemorate the life of King Constantine and offer their support to one another.
