Description
The King, Queen Consort and other members of the Royal Family attended St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle for the first Easter Sunday service of Charles' reign. The royal family was out on the castle grounds, enjoying the spring sunshine before the morning service. Charles and Camilla arrived dressed in matching royal blue suits, with the King in full dress and the Queen Consort in an Anna Valentine wrap dress with a Philip Treacy hat.
They were followed by the Duke of York and the Princess Royal.
The Prince and Princess of Wales were joined by their three children, George, Charlotte and Louis.
Kate wore a navy blue Catherine Walker coat and matching pillbox from Lock & Co.
William and Prince George walked side by side dressed in matching navy suits, while Princess Charlotte held her father's hand.
Prince Louis, who was attending the service for the first time, wore a light blue suit jacket and shorts.
The Earl and Countess of Wessex arrived with their son James, Viscount Severn.
Princess Beatrice and her husband, Eduardo Mapelli Mozzi, also attended the service, a staple of the royal calendar, as were her sister, Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, and Zara and Mike Tindall and their two daughters, Mia and Lena. .
It was likely an emotional moment for the royal family, as the 15th-century chapel was the late queen's final resting place and the Easter Sunday service was the first to be held since her death.
Elizabeth II is buried in the church's small King George VI Memorial Chapel, alongside Prince Philip, the late Duke of Edinburgh, and her parents George VI and the Queen Mother, with their four names inscribed on a new stone slab black fixed to the ground. . .
Charles, as monarch, succeeded his mother to become Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
In less than a month, he will be crowned alongside Camilla at a church service at Westminster Abbey.
