The Prince of Wales was notably absent from the memorial service of his godfather, King Constantine of Greece, held at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle on February 27.

Speculations arose regarding his absence, but it has now been revealed that the Prince withdrew from the event last minute upon learning about his wife Catherine’s battle with cancer.

Contrary to previous statements from Buckingham Palace indicating Catherine’s condition as non-cancerous, the truth emerged that she had recently received a cancer diagnosis and was on the brink of commencing chemotherapy.

This revelation sheds light on the Prince’s abrupt decision to prioritize his family during this challenging time.

In light of Catherine’s health struggles, the Prince of Wales is expected to step back from his royal obligations to focus on supporting his wife and children.

Adjustments have already been made to his schedule since Catherine’s hospitalization at the London Clinic earlier this year, underscoring his commitment to being present for his family.

The couple’s dedication to their children’s well-being is evident through their shared responsibility of managing the school routines since their enrollment at Lambrook School near Ascot.

The proximity of the school to Windsor Estate’s Frogmore Cottage, where Catherine’s parents reside, adds to the convenience for the family.

A significant source of support for Catherine during this period has been her close relationship with her parents, Carol and Michael Middleton, residing nearby in Bucklebury.

The strong bond between mother and daughter has played a vital role in navigating the challenges posed by Catherine’s illness.

The Prince of Wales cited personal reasons for his absence at the memorial service, expressing regret to the Greek royal family for not being able to attend due to the unforeseen circumstances surrounding his wife’s health.

This unexpected turn of events mirrored King Constantine’s absence from the service as he undergoes his own cancer treatment.

As the royal family grapples with these personal challenges, the outpouring of support and understanding from well-wishers has been palpable.
