There’s no other way to say this: William needs to get his act together. Barring himself actually being ill or one of his kids or Kate being seriously ill, he should have been at this service.
Prince and Princess Michael of Kent still made it in their 80s to the ceremony, and their son-in-law literally just died.

“Anne-Marie seems like a lovely lady and I am happy that she enjoyed a long marriage, but she was so young! How did no one say “wait a minute, you are FRESHLY 18?” and her and Constantine were cousins! Again, I’m glad it worked out, but it makes you wonder…” - Submitted by Anonymous

Queen Anne-Marie’s wreath for King Constantine II is made entirely out of lilies of the valley, the same flowers that were used in her wedding bouquet in 1964. The ribbon is inscribed “your beloved Anna-Maria”

Μόχθων δ’ ουκ άλλος ύπερθεν ή γας πατρίας στέρεσθαι.
- Euripides
There is no greater grief that the loss of one’s fatherland.
RIP King Constantine II of Greece (1940-2023)
Constantine II, the last King of Greece, died aged 82 in Athens. A much-loved second cousin of King Charles III and godfather to Prince William, Constantine ascended to the Greek throne in 1964, but was forced to leave the country just three years later following a military coup. Constantine and his family then settled in the UK, where they lived for decades after the Greek monarchy was abolished in 1973.
In 2013, in the midst of the economic crisis, Constantine and Anne-Marie returned permanently to Greece after four decades of exile. "All Greeks who live in exile want to return. It's in their blood," he said at the time. His death closes a chapter on Greece’s history. It’s been decided that he would not be given a state funeral.
