BBC reports that Prince William has pulled out of attending Greek funeral for personal reasons… any ideas?

I think the clue is personal reasons

Not anyone’s business.

It is not a funeral.

It is a memorial service at Windsor Castle for King Constantine. Queen Camilla and other members of the Royal family will be attending.

What?
Glad it’s reported but HQ are ignoring another reported post on another thread this morning, which should definitely be deleted, as should this.

Re Prince William, it’s a private matter obviously.

Hangover!

A memorial service for his Godfather

I’m sure he has a good reason, he’s no shirker. I hope his wife and children are ok.

nadateturbe Tue 27-Feb-24 12:17:24

Agree. No ones business.

Anniebach Tue 27-Feb-24 12:34:08

Some feel concern

Smileless2012 Tue 27-Feb-24 12:38:18

I hope his wife and children are ok yes GSM

It's nice to see concern being expressed isn't it Annie.

Anniebach Tue 27-Feb-24 12:42:42

Yes Smileless surely it’s acceptable to be concerned for someone who’s father has cancer and wife is recovering from surgery

Purplepixie Tue 27-Feb-24 12:47:10

I also hope his wife and children are all ok.

It is unusual and in view of recent royal events, slightly concerning.

M0nica Tue 27-Feb-24 13:08:42

Perhaps it is norovirus or something he has eaten. Lots of things can give you the trots, which would need an instant withdrawal from any immediate engagement, but be of no other concern.

Visgir1 Tue 27-Feb-24 13:14:05

Poor chap, he might just have a bad cold.

vegansrock Tue 27-Feb-24 13:14:57

Perhaps one of the kids was sick and he had to pick them up from school.

The death has just been announced today of Lady Gabriella Windsor’s husband, Thomas Kingston, aged just 45.
Perhaps there is a connection?

Anniebach Tue 27-Feb-24 18:27:13

The daughter of Prince Michael of Kent, very close to the late Queen

Apparently not, as Lady Gabriella’s parents attended today’s memorial service.

How sad, though! They must all be in shock.
