Kate Middleton was joined by most of her family at her fourth annual Christmas carol service — but two people were noticeably absent.

King Charles did not attend his daughter-in-law’s holiday event on Friday, Dec. 6. While no official statement was given regarding his absence, it is thought that his decision to not attend was intentional, allowing the focus to remain on the Princess of Wales, 42, who was hosting the event.

When both Charles or Camilla are present, the order of royal hierarchy typically takes precedence. However, given that the event is Kate’s passion project and she was the host, it makes sense that she and Prince William would be the senior-most royals in attendance.

Charles and Camilla also didn’t attend last year’s service. Last year, the King was carrying out an outing at his Highgrove Estate in Gloucestershire, which is over 100 miles away from Westminster Abbey in London, where the carol service was taking place.

Additionally, Queen Camilla, 77, is still recovering from a recent bout of pneumonia and has been scaling back her public appearances as she continues to recover.

Both Kate and Charles have had a difficult year in the wake of their undisclosed for of cancer diagnoses. bond might grow stronger as they both navigate cancer during the first time in the monarchy’s history that two senior royals are facing the diagnosis simultaneously.

“He has always had a very good bond with her. I don’t think it is presumptuous to say that she is like the daughter he never had,” royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith previously told PEOPLE. “He shares with William an impulse to protect her. They are in this together, Kate and the King.”

Apart from being King and future queen, they are also “two patients going through a common health experience,” says a royal source, noting they “are bound to have a close connection… I imagine there was some comfort [for Kate] in seeing… that it was possible to balance some private information without there being an imperative to share all.”
