Prince William unexpectedly pulled out of attending the memorial service for the late former King Constantine of Greece, where he had been due to give a reading.
Kensington Palace said this was because of a “personal matter”.
Queen Camilla led members of the Royal Family at the service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.
The King, who is being treated for cancer, was also unable to attend the service.
There are no further details of the “personal matter” that kept the Prince of Wales from being there on Tuesday morning, but royal sources have indicated there is no cause for alarm. Prince William’s wife Catherine, who is recovering from abdominal surgery carried out last month, is continuing to do well, says Kensington Palace.
The Prince of Wales called the Greek royal family this morning to say he would not be able to join them. With this year’s succession of royal medical stories, including Catherine’s operation, and the King’s prostate procedure and then cancer diagnosis, there has been much public interest in their health.
