King Constantine of Greece memorial service LIVE: Camilla leads tributes in Charles’ absence, Prince William pulls out for ‘personal reasons, Sarah Ferguson arrives with Prince Andrew

Prince Andrew has attended the service for the late King Constantine of Greece today with Sarah, Duchess of York and his daughters Princess Eugenie and Beatrice.

It is understood that the Duke of York was attending the service as a member of the British Royal Family and had been invited by the Greek Royal Family.

The Duchess of York was pictured sporting a black fascinator and grey outfit, the mother-of-two donned a pair of elegant earrings and opted for a smattering of glamorous makeup.

She arrived alongside her ex-husband, who she lives with at Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park in Berkshire.

King Charles was at Windsor Castle earlier in the day but left before the service for the late King Constantine of Greece began.

Charles, 75, who was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer just over a fortnight ago, is not carrying out public duties while he has treatment.

Constantine was a first cousin once removed and sailing partner of the late Duke of Edinburgh, and died at the age of 82 in January last year, decades after being toppled from the throne in a military coup.

The King had a close friendship with Constantine, choosing him as a godfather for his son William, now the Prince of Wales.

The Princess of Wales is ‘doing well,’ as she recovers from abdominal surgery, Kensington Palace has said.

Kate, 42, is recuperating at the family’s home in Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.
after undergoing surgery at the London Clinic last month.

She has today missed the memorial service for the late King Constantine of Greece which is being hosted by the British royal family.

Prince William has pulled out of attending the memorial service for the late King Constantine, who was his godfather, due to ‘personal reasons’.

No further detail was given on William’s absence, and it is not known if this relates to his wife Kate Middleton’s ongoing recovery after her abdominal surgery last month.

The Prince of Wales, who was due to give a reading, called the family to apologise.
