Easter, as an important religious festival observed by Christians around the world, marks a central celebration in the annual calendar of Britain’s royal family.
This year will mark the first Easter celebrated by the monarchy with the new King Charles III at its head. Each year the sovereign attends a Maundy Thursday ceremony at a different cathedral around Britain. On Easter Sunday, traditionally, members of the royal family gathered at Windsor Castle to attend a special church service at St George’s Chapel within the castle walls.
Kate Middleton has been included in the group of royals attending the Sunday service for 4 years out of the 12 she has been married to Prince William. From 2017 she began attending annually with a two-year break owing to the COVID pandemic in 2020 and 2021.
