The King and other senior royals have attended their first Easter Sunday service at Windsor Castle since the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Charles was accompanied by Camilla, the Queen Consort, with his siblings the Princess Royal and the Duke of York immediately behind them.
The Prince and Princess of Wales were also at the St George’s Chapel service, with all three of their children. Last year, only Prince George and Princess Charlotte joined them. But on Sunday, Prince Louis – their youngest, at the age of four – held his mother’s hand for the walk to the chapel, in the spring sunshine.
The family was colour-coordinated in shades of blue, with Charles and Camilla also wearing dark blue outfits.
Other royals at the traditional Easter Sunday Mattins included the new Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh – Edward and Sophie – with their son James, the Earl of Wessex.
