Prince Harry refuses to answer about William in explosive interview

Prince William has received sad news as he continues to deal with the fallout from Prince Harry's memoir Spare.

It has been announced that his godfather, King Constantine of Greece, has died at the age of 82.

The former and last king of Greece was also a nephew of the late Prince Philip and was said to have been close to his second cousin, King Charles.

He was one of William's six godparents, including Lady Susan Hussey and Princess Alexandra, and attended his confirmation in March 1997.

His death was announced yesterday - the same day Harry's memoir was published, making several explosive claims about William and the rest of the Royal Family.
