King Charles may have felt “devastated” after reportedly being forced to miss his godson Duke of Westminster Hugh Grosvenor’s wedding at Chester Cathedral on Friday.Prince William attended the wedding in a key role.
Former royal butler Grant Harrold, speaking to OK!, reflected on the monarch’s absence, saying, “That will be a bitter pill to swallow and he’ll be devastated.”
Harrold explained, “Charles has a special bond with the Duke of Westminster. If he had to miss the wedding due to a packed schedule and his ongoing treatment, that will be a bitter pill to swallow and he’ll be devastated.”
He added, “He’d commit to a full work schedule if he could and hates to let people down.”
Discussing King Charles’ close bond with Hugh’s family, Harrold noted, “The Duke of Westminster’s late father was Charles’ best friend. I witnessed the two families together when I worked with Charles, and they are very close.”
Earlier this year, King Charles was diagnosed with a form of cancer and is currently receiving treatment.
