The Prince of Wales's surprising "stand-in" at Constantine's funeral. Prince William has been the great absentee at the conclave of European royalty in tribute to King Constantine of Greece.
The heir to the British Crown even appeared in the official program, but he excused his presence at the last minute citing "personal reasons" King Charles III was at Windsor Castle until shortly before the ceremony began. The king has occasionally been seen temporarily withdrawn from public events while undergoing public treatment for cancer.
