Prince William to skip his godfather’s memorial service over ‘personal matter’ | World NewsWORLD NEWS
NEW DELHI: Britain’s Prince William will be skipping the memorial service of his godfather King Constantine of Greece due to a ‘personal matter‘, his office said on Tuesday.
“Unfortunately, the Prince of Wales is no longer able to attend the King Constantine Memorial Service this morning due to a personal matter,” Kensington Palace said.
William’s office refused to divulge further details on the matter.
The statement comes as King Charles remains out of office due to undisclosed cancer treatment and after William’s wife Kate underwent abdominal surgery.
Following Kate’s operation, William, the 41-year-old heir to the throne, postponed official duties to care for her and their three children, before resuming public engagements earlier this month.
However, a royal source told news agency Reuters that Kate was continuing to do well.
King Charles has been absent from his public role as he undergoes treatment for an unspecified form of cancer.
In Charles’ absence, his wife Camilla has become the most senior royal performing engagements as she was due to be accompanied by other royals at the service at Windsor Castle for the late King Constantine, a relation of the British royals, who died aged 82 in January last year.
