The royals were gathered at St James’s Palace for a key cancer-related event, which was particularly important to King Charles and Princess Kate.
However, Prince William was not in attendance. According to Court Circular, the future king had quietly slipped away from his London home for his own engagement.
William, who is the Duke of Rothesay, Commodore-in-Chief of the Submarine Service, was on a mission on behalf of the King.
The future King visited His Majesty Clyde’s Naval Base, Faslane, Dunbartonshire yesterday afternoon, and later met serving submariners and their families at Drumfork Community Centre, Churchill Square, Helensburgh.
A resident shared their interaction with William in Scotland: “We saw Prince William at our community center after school today! The kids who saw him and got a handshake were delighted. He was really nice and gave them time to say hello.”
Additionally, while William was given solo tasks, Princess Kate took charge of a crucial meeting in the morning before reporting to the cancer event.
Catherine, co-patron of the Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales, held an early years meeting at Windsor Castle on Tuesday morning.
This has been a passion project for Kate and this has been reflected in her dedication to the cause during her recent engagements. She made her first solo tour to Italy to promote the early childhood campaign globally.
