Wills was dancing in a Verbier nightclub hours before senior royals attended a service at Westminster Abbey
The prince was first spotted on Saturday as he took to the slopes with Guy Pelly, widely considered to be a less than steadying influence on William and Harry when they were younger, childhood pal Tom van Straubenzee and close friend James Meade
Prince William skipped a major Commonwealth ceremony with the Queen to party with friends on a Swiss ski holiday.
Hours before other royals attended a service at Westminster Abbey to mark Commonwealth Day, an occasion with deep personal resonance for the monarch, he was dancing in a Verbier club.
William, who will one day follow his grandmother as head of the 52-strong ‘family of nations’, earlier in the day drank glasses of beer on the slopes of the upmarket resort with friends including high-spirited nightclub boss Guy Pelly.
It is believed that he left his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, and their young children at home for the weekend jaunt, returning to England late yesterday afternoon.
His decision to miss such a key event in the royal calendar will revive criticism that the 34-year-old prince, now a father of two, is ‘workshy’ and failing to knuckle down to his royal role.
On Sunday the group, including William (shown left in a bobble hat) enjoyed a challenging day on the slopes, interspersed with a lazy lunch on mountainside restaurant La Vache, which is known as one of the best in Switzerland
