Prince William refused to participate in an important event at the last minute because of a "personal matter": rumors about Kate Middleton's health spread in the media

Prince William was scheduled to attend a memorial service for the late King Constantine of Greece, who was his godfather. However, at the last minute, the main heir to the British throne announced that he would not be able to attend the service due to "personal circumstances." This immediately sparked rumors of a deterioration in Kate Middleton's health, who is still recovering from abdominal surgery.

The media speculated that William had canceled his plans to be with his wife. However, Kensington Palace denied these rumors, The Sun reports.

Thus, sources from the royal family assured that 42-year-old Kate Middleton is "feeling well."

The Prince of Wales apologized to the Greek royal family for his absence. It is known that he was supposed to deliver a speech at the service, namely to read Revelation 21:1-7, a popular reading at funerals that begins with the words "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth."

King Charles III was also absent as he continues his cancer treatment. Instead, the oldest member of the royal family to attend the service was Queen Consort Camilla. She was also joined by Charles's younger brother Prince Andrew. He led the royal family on foot to the service at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle.

As for Prince William, the last time he appeared in public was on February 18, when he attended the BAFTA Awards at the Royal Festival Hall in London. The heir to the British throne has been president of the EE British Academy Film Awards since 2010, so he regularly appears on the red carpet of the prestigious award. Previously, he was accompanied by the Princess of Wales, but this time she watched the event from the palace online. The last time Katherine went out in public was at Christmas in Sandringham.

As a reminder, on January 16, Kate Middleton was hospitalized for abdominal surgery. Representatives of the British royal family then reported that the 42-year-old Princess of Wales would stay in the hospital for about two weeks.

It is known that after discharge, the Princess of Wales will "work from bed" and will not appear in public until Easter, so some events planned for this time had to be canceled.
