From the BBC:
“King Charles joined by family for
first Easter service as monarch”
(The King and Camilla, Queen Consort,
at Windsor Castle with the Princess Royal and Duke of York)
The King and other senior royals have
attended their first Easter Sunday service at Windsor Castle since the death of
Queen Elizabeth II. Charles was accompanied by Camilla, the Queen Consort, with
his siblings the Princess Royal and the Duke of York immediately behind them. The
Prince and Princess of Wales were also at the St George's Chapel service, with
all three of their children. Last year, only Prince George and Princess
Charlotte joined them. But on Sunday, Prince Louis - their youngest, at the age
of four - held his mother's hand for the walk to the chapel, in the spring
sunshine.

hat)

(Princess Eugenie - who is expecting her second child this summer - attended with her husband Jack Brooksbank, along with her sister Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.)
(The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh
with their son Viscount Severn)
(The Royal Family traditionally takes
the short walk to the chapel together)
The 15th Century chapel where the
service was held is the late Queen's final resting place. She is buried in its
tiny King George VI Memorial Chapel, alongside the late Prince Philip and her
parents George VI and the Queen Mother. It is now less than a month until
Charles's coronation at Westminster Abbey. Sunday also marks the 18th
anniversary of his marriage to Camilla. The pair left the chapel separately,
with Camilla stopping to receive a posy of flowers before waving to members of
the public and wishing them a Happy Easter as she got into a car. As the King
left a few minutes later, he received a round of applause from the crowd.
^ It seems they had a good Easter
this year. ^
