After a two-year absence, the Prince and Princess of Wales resumed their participation in a beloved royal Easter tradition. On Sunday, April 5, Kate Middleton and Prince William, accompanied by their three children, attended the Easter Matins Service at St. George’s Chapel, located within Windsor Castle. They joined King Charles, Queen Camilla, and other members of the royal family for the occasion.
Their children—Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7—walked alongside their parents during the service. Notably, George and Charlotte had been present at the service in 2022, while Prince Louis made his first appearance last year. The family dressed formally, with George and Louis coordinating their attire with their father’s.
William, 43, and Kate, 44, have traditionally attended this annual Easter event, although they missed the services in 2024 and 2025. In 2024, the Princess of Wales had recently disclosed her cancer diagnosis and opted to celebrate Easter privately with her children. By January 2025, she announced that her cancer was in remission.
Instead of attending the service last year, the family observed Easter at their Norfolk country residence, continuing their private celebrations which include egg hunts and other festive activities. In a previous interview during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, Prince William shared that Easter at home involves indulging in plenty of sweets. He remarked, “There will be a lot of chocolate being eaten here, don’t worry!” to which Kate humorously responded, “You keep eating it!”
