Prince William pulls out of memorial for late godfather King Constantine of Greece

·

Royals from around the world gathered on Tuesday in England to remember King Constantine II of Greece, with both King Charles III and Prince William not in attendance.

The king is currently undergoing cancer treatment, and for this reason, could not attend, like with most public appearances. William withdrew from the event at the last minute owing to a personal concern; no other information is known as of this stage.

According to Bazaar, the Thanksgiving ceremony for King Constantine was held yesterday morning in St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, where Queen Camilla, Prince Andrew, Sarah Ferguson were among a few of the British royals present.

Representing Greece were several members of the country’s royal family. The group included Queen Anne Marie of Greece; Pavlos, Crown Prince of Greece and Prince of Denmark RE; and Marie-Chantal, Crown Princess of Greece and Princess of Denmark; Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark; Princess Nina of Greece and Denmark; Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark; Princess Theodora of Greece and Denmark; and Matthew Jeremiah Kumar.

The late King Constantine II, leader of Greece’s royal dynasty, reigned as the country’s final king from March 6, 1964 until June 1, 1973, when the monarchy was abolished. He died on January 10, 2023, in Athens, at the age of 82. The Greek royal family now retain symbolic positions rather than actively ruling.
