Amidst the jubilant celebration of Easter, Charles, the new King, and his beloved wife Camilla, the Queen Consort, graced the St George’s Chapel at the magnificent Windsor Castle. It was their first Easter Sunday service since Charles ascended to the throne. The royal couple, adorned in regal blue, greeted the public before the commencement of the service, wishing them a joyous and blessed Easter.
The Enthralling Attendance of the Royalty
The regal event had a staggering attendance of the entire royal family, showcasing the magnificence of the British monarchy. The distinguished attendees included the Princess Royal, the Duke of York, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and their three children, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh with their son James, the Earl of Wessex, Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank, and Zara and Mike Tindall with their two daughters, Mia and Lena.
The Astonishing Attire of the Royalty
The royal attire was impeccable, as usual, with Charles and Camilla donning matching royal blue outfits. Camilla graced the occasion with a stunning coat dress by Anna Valentine, accompanied by a magnificent Philip Treacy hat. On the other hand, Charles looked elegant in his impeccably tailored suit. The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate, looked resplendent in a marine blue Catherine Walker coat and matching pill-box hat by Lock & Co. The fashion choices of Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte didn’t disappoint either, as they wore matching navy suits and a blue polka-dot dress, respectively. The youngest member of the royal family, Prince Louis, stole hearts at his first royal appearance, wearing a suit jacket and light blue shorts.
The Late Queen’s Resplendent Resting Place
The St George’s Chapel, dating back to the 15th century, where the Easter service was held, served as the final resting place for the late Queen Elizabeth II. She was laid to rest in the King George VI Memorial Chapel, along with her beloved husband, Prince Philip, the late Duke of Edinburgh, and her parents, King George VI and the Queen Mother. A striking new black stone slab was set in the chapel’s floor, inscribed with the names of the four royals.
Charles’s Magnificent Position as the Supreme Governor of the Church of England
As the new monarch, Charles’s grandeur and power were evident, as he succeeded his mother to become the Supreme Governor of the Church of England. With only a month until their religious coronation service at the grand Westminster Abbey, Charles and Camilla’s presence at the Easter service was a testimony to the grandeur of the British monarchy.
