Prince William's last-minute decision 

Prince William pulled out of a memorial service for the late King Constantine of Greece, which was hosted by the British royal family. While no specific reason was given for his absence, a palace source confirmed that Middleton "continues to be doing well." William was scheduled to give a reading at the event, but he informed the Greek royals that he would be unable to attend due to personal reasons. 

Continued recovery of Kate Middleton 

"The Princess of Wales has returned home to Windsor to continue her recovery from surgery. She is making good progress," said a Kensington Palace spokesman. Middleton has been recovering at home since leaving the hospital on January 16th after her surgery as per PEOPLE. Despite William's absence from the memorial service, it is understood that his personal matters are unrelated to King Charles' ongoing cancer treatment.
