Full story
Royal Easter Return
Britain's royal family gathered at Windsor's St George's Chapel for the traditional Easter Matins service.
“Prince William and Princess Catherine led their children into the chapel. Princess Charlotte waved to the crowds”
King Charles, Queen Camilla, and the Prince and Princess of Wales attended alongside their three children.
The Wales family returned after two years absent during Kate Middleton's cancer treatment.
Notably absent were Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his daughters Beatrice and Eugenie, who have made alternative plans.
The service was a private family event and the King did not issue an Easter message.
Andrew's Absence Looms
Andrew's absence remained the dominant narrative.
He was arrested on his 66th birthday on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
The King stripped him of his royal title shortly thereafter.
Andrew had attended Easter services in prior years since the scandal.
Beatrice and Eugenie have stepped back as well amid continued media scrutiny.
Family Traditions Persist
Longstanding Easter traditions continued despite the turbulence.
“They continued with another tradition of roast lamb and chocolate desserts”
The family partook in a customary roast lamb lunch and chocolate desserts.
The practice dates back to Queen Victoria.
The Wales children's presence served as a symbol of continuity amid change.
