Prince of Wales pulls out of memorial service due to "personal matter"

The Prince of Wales has pulled out of attending a memorial service for the late King Constantine of Greece due to a "personal matter".

Kensington Palace would not elaborate further but said the Princess of Wales, who is recovering from abdominal surgery, continues to be doing well.

The Prince of Wales called the Greek royal family who are attending the service to let them know he was unable to attend.

The King is also missing the service as he continues treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer.

Charles, who has been staying at Windsor Castle, is due to leave the Berkshire residence at some point on Tuesday morning.

The late King Constantine of Greece, who died in January last year, was William’s godfather and The Prince was due to deliver a reading at today's service.
