Are Prince William and Kate Middleton Attending the Royals' Easter Event? Here's What We Know
Prince William and Kate Middleton will likely visit St. George's Chapel this Sunday.
With Easter Day fast approaching, preparations are well underway within the Royal Family, with King Charles III and Queen Camilla all set to lead the traditional celebrations. This special occasion will see many senior royals coming together for a day, and every little detail is now being closely watched by the experts, royal observers, and fans. Well, reports have now revealed that the Prince and Princess of Wales are expected to rejoin the Royal Family’s traditional Easter celebrations this time, marking their first appearance at the event in two years.
While it isn't officially confirmed yet, Prince William and Kate Middleton will likely visit St. George's Chapel in the Windsor Castle grounds on Sunday, April 5, along with their three kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, as reported by People Magazine. While George and Charlotte first took part in the popular church service in 2022, their younger brother Louis joined the family for the occasion a year later in 2023. Additionally, William has regularly attended the Royal Family’s Easter celebrations since his childhood, often being spotted alongside his mother, Princess Diana, and his brother, Prince Harry.
However, for the past two years, William and Kate have marked the special day more privately, just enjoying the time with their kids. For instance, last year, the royal couple chose to spend their vacation more than 100 miles from Windsor at their Norfolk residence, Anmer Hall. The place has long served as a go-to escape for the Wales family, especially during the school holidays, giving them a rare chance to live away from the constant spotlight. William and Kate have also revealed previously that their kids often celebrate Easter with popular traditions, including an egg hunt and lots of candies.
Before that, in 2024, the couple chose to skip the official church service as they were dealing with the news of Kate’s cancer diagnosis, which was made public only weeks before the big day. At the time, the Princess of Wales largely stepped away from her royal duties to focus solely on her treatment. Later, in a positive update, she shared in January 2025 that she was in remission. As reported by the BBC, Kate wrote back, "As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal. I am, however, looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead."
Meanwhile, Charles and Camilla will kick off the Easter celebrations on Thursday by attending the Royal Maundy Service, which is a long-standing tradition in which they present 'Maundy Money' to selected recipients. These ceremonial coins are often given to people aged 70 and above, in appreciation of their exceptional service to their communities. The number of recipients is similar to the age of the monarch, meaning that this year, 77 men and 77 women will be honored. This special service will take place at St. Asaph Cathedral, located in Wales.
