Kensington Palace provide a health update on the Princess of Wales following William's absence from the memorial

Prince William has been pictured for the first time since he pulled out of King Constantine's memorial service at the last minute.

The Prince of Wales was due to give a reading at St George’s Chapel on Tuesday but was unable to attend the event due to "personal reasons".


Prince William called the Greek Royal Family to let them know regarding his absence.

No further details regarding the royal's absence were given but Kensington Palace did confirm that the Princess of Wales is doing well in her recovery from abdominal surgery.

"I want you all to know you can talk about it and your experiences.

"Both Catherine and I are extremely concerned about the rise in anti-Semitism that you guys have talked about this morning and I'm just so sorry if any of you have had to experience that.

"It has no place... that's why I'm here today to reassure you all that people do care and people do listen and we can't let that go."
