Earlier today at Windsor Castle, a memorial service for the late King Constantine II of the Hellenes was held at St. George's Chapel. King Charles II expressed his regrets that he could not attend due to his cancer treatment. Shortly before the service began, the Prince of Wales released a statement that he would not be able to attend due to "personal reasons."
William, who is one of Constantine's godchildren, was scheduled to read at the service, but canceled at the last minute due to "personal reasons." Another godchild, Lady Gabriella Windsor, also did not attend the service. It was announced several hours after the service that her husband died suddenly on February 25 in Gloucestershire.
[Prince Constantijn, younger brother of King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, was on the guest list but did not attend the service. There were reports that he had "logistical problems" in getting to Windsor.]
Queen Camilla and Queen Anne Marie of the Hellenes led the mourners which included members of the British, Greek, Spanish, Danish, and other royal families.
