King Charles III and Queen Camilla led the Royal Family at the traditional Easter Sunday service at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle—but notably absent were the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children.
While senior royals such as Princess Anne, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and their son James, Earl of Wessex, were in attendance, the Wales family opted to spend the Easter weekend privately at their Norfolk residence. A royal source confirmed that Prince William had informed the King in advance, expressing the family’s wish to enjoy “extended time together” before the children return to school.
Their absence follows a challenging year for the Princess of Wales, who is currently recovering after being diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. The family also missed the Easter service in 2024, just weeks after the diagnosis was made public.
Surprisingly, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson made an appearance at this year’s service—months after being excluded from the royal Christmas gathering amid renewed controversy surrounding the Duke of York’s alleged ties to a Chinese spy.
Also present were Princess Beatrice and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, along with Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank.
As speculation around royal health and dynamics continues, the Waleses’ choice highlights their focus on family time and recovery.
