London CNN —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.
King Charles III is also absent from the service as he continues his treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer.
After a military coup in 1967, Constantine and his family fled to Rome, and the military regime appointed a regent to take his place.
The Greek monarchy was abolished on June 1, 1973, when the military regime proclaimed the country a republic – a decision that was backed by a subsequent referendum.
