In response to growing concerns surrounding the health of Kate Middleton, Kensington Palace has issued a reassuring statement, offering insights into the Duchess of Cambridge’s well-being in the wake of Prince William’s unexpected absence from the King Constantine Memorial Service.
Amid speculation and apprehension triggered by Prince William’s withdrawal from the service, the Palace sought to assuage public fears by affirming that Kate Middleton “continues to be doing well,” according to reports from the Daily Mail. The clarification provided a much-needed sense of relief among royal watchers.
The Duchess of Cambridge, currently in the midst of her recovery from abdominal surgery undergone last month, is recuperating at Adeliade Cottage in Windsor, where she is surrounded by her children, prioritizing her health and well-being.
While Prince William’s absence was conspicuous, the memorial service at the 15th-century chapel proceeded solemnly under the leadership of Queen Camilla. Accompanied by Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, along with their daughters Princess Eugenie and Beatrice, the ceremony was a poignant tribute to the late King Constantine.
The gathering also saw the presence of Queen Anne-Marie, widow of King Constantine, and their eldest son Crown Prince Pavlos, alongside various members of the Greek royal family, underscoring the significance of the occasion and the enduring ties within royal circles.

However, the absence of King Charles from the service highlighted the fragility of health within the royal household. On medical advice, King Charles opted to forgo attendance after recently being diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer earlier this month, shedding light on the personal challenges faced by members of the monarchy.
The memorial service served as a poignant reminder of the legacy and contributions of King Constantine, who passed away last year at the age of 82 after succumbing to a stroke in January. Amidst the solemn atmosphere, the royal family and attendees paid heartfelt tribute to his memory, reflecting on his enduring impact on the monarchy and beyond.
