The Best Photos of the British Royal Family on Easter 2024

King Charles and Queen Camilla were joined by a small group of Windsors at church today.

Each year, the British royal family gathers in Windsor on Easter Sunday to attend services at St. George’s Chapel. The whole group is typically photographed as they walk down to the church. After, they reportedly enjoy a traditional roast lamb lunch at the Castle.

While it’s unclear whether or not the modern day Windsors participate in an Easter egg hunt on the grounds of the estate, royals of centuries past have enjoyed the tradition; In 1833, 14-year-old Princess Victoria (the future Queen Victoria), wrote in a letter, “Mama did some pretty painted & ornamented eggs, & we looked for them.” Years later, she and her husband Prince Albert continued this tradition for their children; in a journal entry in 1869, Queen Victoria wrote, “After breakfast, the children, as usual on this day looked for Easter eggs.”

This year’s Easter gathering will look different from previous years, as Prince William and Kate Middleton won’t be in attendance with their children following the news of Kate’s cancer diagnosis, and due to King Charles’s cancer diagnosis, it was a much smaller group.

Here, see all the best photos of King Charles, Queen Camilla, and the rest of the royal family in Windsor on Easter 2024:
