Prince William, Kate Middleton and kids join royal family for Easter service
ABC News • • general
Key Points:
- Prince William and Kate, the Princess of Wales, attended the Easter service at St. George's Chapel with their three children, marking their first Easter service with the royal family since 2023 following Kate's cancer diagnosis and treatment.
- King Charles III and Queen Camilla were also present, while other royal family members, including King Charles's younger brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, were absent.
- Beatrice and Eugenie chose not to attend the service, a decision reportedly independent of the king, and it does not preclude their participation in future royal events.
- Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, was arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct related to communications with Jeffrey Epstein but was released without charge; he has denied any wrongdoing.
- Andrew was stripped of his royal titles and honors last year after stepping back from public duties in 2019 due to his association with Epstein.
