Britain’s King Charles and Queen Camilla made a brief public appearance on Sunday following Easter service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor, a key tradition for the monarch, who serves as the supreme governor of the Church of England.
The royal couple, with Camilla dressed in a pale blue outfit and matching hat, were joined by senior family members including Prince Andrew, Prince Edward, and Princess Anne at the historic 15th-century chapel located within Windsor Castle.
Prince Andrew's presence drew attention, marking his return to a royal event after missing the family’s Christmas gathering amid ongoing scrutiny over his reported ties to an alleged Chinese spy. He was accompanied by his former wife, Sarah, Duchess of York.
Notably absent were Prince William and Princess Catherine, who are spending the Easter holiday with their children in Norfolk, eastern England. Catherine, who revealed her cancer remission in January, continues to focus on recovery.
After the service, Queen Camilla received a bouquet of flowers and shared Easter greetings with members of the public.
Earlier in the week, King Charles used his annual Easter message to reflect on global conflict, human suffering, and the courage of those who risk their lives to help others. This year’s service marked his first public event since revealing his cancer diagnosis in February.
