Britain's Prince William pulls out of event due to personal matter

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Prince William has pulled out of attending a memorial service at Windsor Castle for the late King Constantine of Greece because of an unspecified personal matter, his office said Tuesday.

"Unfortunately, The Prince of Wales is no longer able to attend the King Constantine Memorial Service this morning due to a personal matter," Kensington Palace said.

The palace declined to give any further details, but it comes after his wife Kate underwent abdominal surgery last month.

However, a royal source said Kate was continuing to do well.
