What Is Going On In The Royal Family? | Prince William's Absence Explained

In a whirlwind of events within the royal family, Prince William has made headlines by pulling out of a memorial service for his godfather due to a personal matter. This news comes amidst other heart-breaking developments, including the passing of Thomas Kingston, the husband of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent's daughter Lady Gabrielle. With the King also absent as he undergoes cancer treatment, questions and speculations are swirling around the royal family.
The tragic news of Thomas Kingston's passing at the age of 45 has shocked the royal family and the public alike. Found dead at an address in Gloucestershire, his death has left a void in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. Buckingham Palace released a statement expressing condolences and support for Lady Gabrielle and the Kingston family during this difficult time.
Despite the grief of losing a loved one, Prince and Princess Michael of Kent showed their resilience by attending a memorial service for King Constantine of Greece at St George's Chapel. The same chapel where their daughter Lady Gabrielle married Thomas Kingston five years ago. The strength and composure displayed by the royal couple in the face of such tragedy is truly admirable.

The bloody media are nothing but trolls. Why can’t you just accept William’s statement that he cancelled due to personal reasons instead of keeping on digging? Just because he is a Prince does NOT mean that he (and his family) aren’t entitled to a private life. For God’s sake, leave him alone!

saying no one has seen Catherine yet.....as someone who has had major abdominal surgery. She's probably only managing to get around the house a little bit at this stage. She'll still be in a lot of pain and will tire very easily, plus, she's tiny anyway, but you do lose quite a bit of weight and the last thing she needs is the media banging on about her weight. We will see her when she is fit and ready. Stop pressurising her into being seen.

All of this brought to mind how ruthless the British people were toward the late Queen Elizabeth when Diana died. She comforted her Grandsons before she addressed her subjects. Not until Queen Elizabeth went on TV and spoke were the people satisfied. What do you want from Prince William?? Is it possible MI5, MI6, Interpol needed his undivided attention and the public didn't need details? Maybe something he ate hadn't agreed with him and the anti-diarrhea meds haven't worked 100% yet? William is still a Prince, not your King. You know enough to use compassion, not criticism, at times like these!!!!

William is first & foremost a human being just like all of us are. Therefore, he is allowed to have personal reasons for cancelling previously planned appearances, just like all of us are. The media must accept his statement that he cancelled, without digging up 'messy' speculations about what Is going on in the RF. If William needs to give statements about this or any other cancellations, he will. But what he says as personal reasons must remain just that, personal & private.

[@Stefanie2530]

Prince William is not like his younger brother who doesn't care about anyone but himself. This was his godfather. That he missed the service means something pretty serious took place. And its none of our business what that something is. Hope all is well for Prince William and his family.

[@ubax0107]

Prince Harry is the only normal man in that family. The Royal family is now facing karma for the way they treated him. The invisible contract between W and the media is now broken and we will see the media release negative stories about him and the public will turn against him very soon. Feeding stories about his little brother to the media won’t help him anymore.

[@thewayfollower]

Seeing as a close friend of William's has passed, why would you expect him there? This is worse than tragic, William would be wondering what he could have done to prevent it. Why didn't anyone pick up the signs? When someone dies at a relatively young age, and no illness or accident is involved, no questions by the police, it's a suicide. We all know that. All the money on the planet or connections and friends won't stop it if that's the road the person has taken. It takes the one in agony to cry out to Jesus. But the broken have normally made up their mind and quietly put together the plan to leave and stop what is tormenting them. So, so sad. A friend of my young adult children just recently took his life. He lost his dad weeks before. He was trying to get more work as a tradie and getting ripped off my companies. It's terrible for the young men now. There are so many greedy families. The hypocrisy of wanting others to take a jab, but where are you when they need food, shelter, warm clothes, somewhere to live? This young man called all his friends and family, and they had no idea he was saying goodbye, no idea. Now, his mother has lost both her husband and son within weeks of each other. It is very sad for the royal family, and they need to speak up about it. There are more suicides happening on the planet than ever before, more. And they keep trying to hide it.

I agree with the comments speculating about Prince William and Princess Catherine! He withdrew on a PERSONAL matter - meaning it is no one else’s business why he withdrew. Clearly it was important for him to have withdrawn from this deeply important event for his godfather and family. However, we do not need to know or speculate why. There was a reason and that reason is his alone. As for Princess Catherine, I am sick of people calling her lazy because she has withdrawn from the public while she recuperates and spends that time with her family. Her surgery not only affected her but her family too (no matter what it was for). It is also something that you not only need to adjust physically but emotionally as well (the harder/more physical the surgery the more emotionally traumatic it can be). They are an AMAZING couple! She has fit into the RF with grace, dignity, intelligence and beauty. She has made herself visible to the public in the way Princess Diana did. I firmly believe that Princess Diana would NOT HAVE APPROVED what H & M did to his family (especially Prince William and Princess Catherine). Princess Diana would have loved Princess Catherine and been so happy for Prince William.

Wow......I had no idea how obsessed the British public OR should I say the British Press has become of the Royal Family.

I heard Kent family, his parents, attended the funeral William pulled out of.

Why are people making a big deal about this? It's for personal reasons, key word, personal. So people need to leave him alone.

Let's not forget Fergie who has been diagnosed with skin cancer.. We love Fergie too.

[@Foxytrot-sx2vd]

Funny. Back in the day she was vilified for being Fat Fergie, Frumpy Fergie (which she wasn't), said to be butch for having a husky man's voice, having 'red' hair, and really raked over the coals for divorcing Andrew. I always liked her so I felt badly for her, and the comparisons to Diana, and yet she has endured and now people adore her. Good on you, Sarah for having the fortitude to carry on in Brit tradition.

He was found dead at 6PM at an address...but there are no suspicious circumstances? That's very fishy.

[@marksheppard9880]

AGATHA CHRISTIE.

[@Foxytrot-sx2vd]

He died at his parents' country mansion. Gloucester Ambulance Service attended the private residence, and the police stated that there are "no suspicious circumstances". Lets be sensible. Not really fishy considering it could have been a ruptured aneurysm, underlying heart problem, a stroke if there is a family history for heart disease, an undisclosed health condition or disease. It is shocking and yet it happens. Family asked for privacy and the request should be respected. Just have to wait if you are really that curious.

[@janined5784]

What's going on in the Royal family? None of your damn business!! Let them have their privacy!

[@ryansmith4647]

They've released a statement what more do you guys want stop making it more dramatic than needs to be.

I believe all these titles of 'King & Queen' and 'Prince & Princes ' are no longer useful in a society that is fast shifting to a new reality.

[@isobelcarson6096]

Calling Catherine Princess of Wales "Kate" is like calling our late Queen Elizabeth "Liz." SHOW SOME RESPECT.

[@truthBreal2030]

She’s a regular human like everyone else. Nothing special. They are not Gods

[@vergroen]

The royal family has a right to some personal, PRIVATE life. Why does the media keep pestering to know every detail, every move they make. Personal means personal!

[@michaelmontagu3979]

If a section of the public didn't want to know everything, even private matters, then the media would have no cause to dig. One feeds on the other.
