Prince William's absence from his godfather’s memorial service was due to illness as per royal commentator Ingrid Seward.
Seward addressed rumours surrounding Kate's health during her appearance on GB News alongside hosts Bev Turner and Mark Dolan, where they discussed William's non-attendance and Kate's whereabouts.
According to Seward, the Prince opted not to explain his decision not to attend in order to allay possible fears from the public.
“I immediately assumed that he had a tummy bug or something”, she said.
“He’s got three kids. I think he must have been taken ill.”
Asked whether the Palace should have disclosed that information, Seward commented: “I think maybe they should have, but they didn’t.
“If he was unwell, people would have thought ‘oh my goodness, the whole Royal Family is falling apart.”
Meanwhile, Princess of Wales, is recovering from abdominal surgery, continues to be doing well.
Constantine II of Greece, who died in January last year, was William’s godfather.
