With Easter fast approaching, royal watchers are no doubt eager to see how the family marks the occasion this year.

King Charles, Queen Camilla, and several other members of the royal family are expected to attend the traditional church service at Windsor Castle this weekend — but two senior royals will be noticeably absent.

Typically, the Prince and Princess of Wales are among the regular attendees at this holiday event. However, they missed last year’s service due to Kate’s cancer diagnosis, and now it appears they’ll be skipping it again.

Prince William, Princess Kate, and their three children — Prince George (11), Princess Charlotte (9), and Prince Louis (6) — are reportedly set to break with the Easter tradition for a second consecutive year.

Instead of joining the traditional royal Easter gathering, Kate and William have opted to spend the holiday weekend with their children at their countryside residence in Norfolk.

As reported by The Mirror, sources say the father-of-three had informed King Charles in advance about his decision to skip the annual event in order to “enjoy some extended time as a family over Easter.”

“They are choosing to spend time together as a family before the children go back to school,” the source reportedly added.
