King Charles breaking tradition again

Easter was one of the late Queen’s favourite holidays as she was a woman of faith. As such, royal expert, Ingrid Seward, believes a special tribute will be given to Queen Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip during the private ceremony in the chapel at Windsor.

King Charles to give a new role

According to Ingrid Seward, Princess Kate may be asked to help organise some of the activities for the children.

Kate is a great organiser and will almost certainly organise an Easter egg hunt – they can also go to the royal mews and see the horses there and there is an indoor pool for swimming and ponies for them to ride.

In the past, Princess Kate has always been good with the children in the firm, so it seems fitting that she helps organise some fun activities for the youngest members. There is a high chance that this Easter will be a grand family affair, with all members joining, except Prince Harry and Meghan, meaning lots of youngsters will be at Windsor for the weekend.
