William, Kate and children attend royal Easter service for first time since her cancer diagnosis

The Prince and Princess of Wales and their children have attended the Royal Family's traditional Easter service at Windsor for the first time since Kate was diagnosed with cancer.

Prince William and Kate joined the King and Queen and other senior royals at the Easter Matins service at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, on Sunday.

William waved to the large crowd outside the castle as he and his wife arrived with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Charlotte was in a tan coat and Kate wore an off-white ensemble of skirt, smart jacket and leafy hat, while William and the boys wore dark blue suits and ties.

Queen Camilla was in a red wool dress and coat by Fiona Clare, a hat by Phillip Treacy and a broach which belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth II.

It's the first time since 2023 that the Waleses have been at the service.

Last year, they opted to spend the Easter weekend with their children in Norfolk, while 2024's service came just over a week after Kate released an emotional video message revealing she had started a course of preventative chemotherapy.

Charles and Camilla arrived by car in front of the castle to a shout of "God save the King" from the crowd on Sunday morning.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie were not there, after the King gave them permission to make other plans.

Last year, Charles and Camilla were joined by the former Duke of York and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson at the 15th century chapel on Easter Sunday.

Since then, Andrew has been stripped by the King of his right to be a prince and his dukedom over his association with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Andrew was arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He denies any wrongdoing.

Beatrice and Eugenie, who are the King's nieces and have kept their titles as princesses, joined the Royal Family for Christmas at Sandringham in December.

It is understood they will be at family celebrations in the future.

The Princess Royal was accompanied at the Windsor service by her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence.

The Duke of Edinburgh was also in attendance. He was pictured without his wife, the Duchess of Edinburgh.
