Prince William won’t be able to attend his godfather’s memorial service due to a personal problem.
Kensington Palace didn’t give more details on why he couldn’t go, but they did share that Kate Middleton is recovering well after having surgery on her stomach.
The Princess of Wales went to the hospital for a planned surgery on January 16th.
She will not be back to work until after Easter, and her husband is taking a break from his royal duties to take care of her and their kids.
The Prince of Wales was supposed to read at a ceremony for the late King Constantine of Greece at Windsor Castle this morning.
The palace said that he called the Greek royal family to tell them he couldn’t come to the service at St George’s Chapel.
The royal family had a tough start to 2024. King Charles got cancer and Kate Middleton had surgery.
Constantine was the son of Prince Philip’s first cousin and they used to sail together. He died when he was 82 years old in January of last year after being removed from power in a military takeover many years ago.
His oldest son, Crown Prince Pavlos, will read in place of William.
Prince Andrew walked with some members of his family, like his ex-wife Sarah, Duchess of York, Princess Beatrice, and Zara and Mike Tindall, into the chapel.
Queen Camilla was the last person from the British royal family to come. She was driven from the castle to the chapel that was built in the 15th century.
King Charles has cancer, but the type of cancer has not been told to everyone. He has been getting treatment for it regularly.
He found out he was sick after having surgery at the London Clinic. Kate had her surgery there too. He had a problem with his prostate.
Cancer was found early, so he’s making plans for who will take over his responsibilities and wants Prince William to be involved.
