The Real Reason Kate Isn't Attending Pope Francis' Funeral With William Weeks After He Hired Divorce Lawyers
With the sudden news of Pope Francis' passing, Buckingham Palace announced that Prince William will be attending the pontiff's funeral on April 26. The question is: will Kate Middleton be joining him?
According to the Royals' schedules, Prince William will be attending the funeral on behalf of The King. The tradition comes after King Charles attended Pope John Paul II's funeral in 2005 on behalf of Queen Elizabeth. The now-Queen Camilla didn't attend the funeral with Charles. The funeral was also held a couple of days before Camilla and Charles' wedding, which the couple had to postpone due to the Pope's death.

It's likely that Kate Middleton won't be attending the event with her husband due to the same tradition. But the Prince of Wales will soon reunite with his wife because of their upcoming schedules and their wedding anniversary. They will be visiting Scotland, where the couple fell in love when they were college students at St. Andrews College.
The news comes after William made a move that blindsided Buckingham Palace. Insiders reported that the Prince of Wales transitioned to his late-mother Diana's lawyers. The Prince of Wales has been regularly using his father's lawyers Harbottle & Lewis and its partner, Gerrard Tyrrell. Harbottle & Lewis has also represented the Royal family for decades. William made the move to Mishcon de Reya, which represented Princess Diana in her divorce from Charles a year before her accidental death. 'William wanted to strike out on his own,' a source tells the Daily Mail, which broke this news. 'He did not want to continue using his father's lawyers. It's as simple as that. He wants to be his own man.' While the law firm did represent Diana in her divorce, the company also specializes in dispute resolution, private client & family law, real estate, reputation protection, and innovation & technology.
Again, there isn't a thing to be worried about for the state of Prince William and Kate Middleton's marriage. Kate Middleton returned to public duties after she announced her remission after her cancer diagnosis and thanked her husband for his continuous support. The Scotland trip marks Kate Middleton's first overnight trip after her cancer diagnosis.
