Prince William will miss a memorial service for the late King Constantine of Greece because of a personal matter, a royal source has told CNN. The Prince of Wales, 41, had been expected to attend the remembrance event at Windsor Castle on Tuesday. The source would not elaborate further on the last-minute change of plans, but added that William’s wife, the Princess of Wales - who is recuperating after abdominal surgery in January - “continues to be doing well.” Kate has been out of the public eye as she continues to recover at home and is not expected to return to royal duties until after Easter.
