Prince Williams Skips Late Godfather’s Memorial Citing Personal Reasons

Prince William did not attend a memorial service for the late King Constantine of Greece – his godfather – because of a personal matter, people familiar with the developments told CNN.

The 41-year-old UK royal was expected to attend the remembrance event at Windsor Castle on Tuesday. The news report which cited a person familiar with developments related to the UK royal family did not tell why the plans were changed and did not elaborate further on the last-minute change of plans.

The person, however, did point out that William’s wife, the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, who is recuperating after abdominal surgery in January is doing well. The person also said that Prince William called the family to inform them that he is not attending the event.
