Easter Royal Service Marked by Absences, Fresh Faces

The Royal Family's Easter Sunday service at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, featured notable absences as Prince William, Princess Kate, and their children skipped the event, choosing a private celebration in Norfolk and attending church with Kate's parents in Sandringham. Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie attended with their husbands, supporting their parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, and drawing attention with their chic fashion choices. Beatrice wore a gold-patterned headband and a green dress, while Eugenie opted for an elegant white ensemble with a veiled hat. Princess Anne was also present, repeating a green printed coat in line with her sustainable fashion approach, and is scheduled for official duties in Turkey later in the week. The service underscored both change and continuity in the monarchy, as younger royals took on more visible roles amid ongoing transitions. The event reaffirmed the royal family's adaptability and sustained traditions despite recent challenges.
