Princesses Beatrice And Eugenie To Skip Royal Family’s Easter Service At Windsor

Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie to Skip Royal Family’s Easter Service at Windsor Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie will not attend the British royal family’s traditional Easter Sunday church service at Windsor Castle this year, breaking from a long-standing family tradition. The annual service, held at St George’s Chapel within the castle grounds, is typically attended by senior members of the British royal family and is considered a key family gathering rather than an official public engagement. According to reports, the sisters—daughters of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson—have made “alternative plans” for Easter with the agreement of King Charles III. Their absence comes amid ongoing scrutiny surrounding their father, Prince Andrew, whose recent arrest and long-standing links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have triggered renewed controversy and pressure on the monarchy. Sources indicate the decision was made to maintain a low public profile and avoid drawing attention during a sensitive period for the royal family. Despite skipping this year’s Easter gathering, the move is not seen as a permanent withdrawal from royal life. Officials stress that the princesses are expected to attend future family events and celebrations. Senior royals, including King Charles III and other core members of the monarchy, are still expected to attend the Easter service as planned, continuing the tradition at Windsor.
