Royal Easter: Princesses Absent Amid Father's Scandal
5 Apr
Summary
- Royals gathered for Easter service, but some family members were absent.
- Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie missed the service due to father's scandal.
- King Charles addressed Prince Andrew's arrest for misconduct.
King Charles III and Queen Camilla, along with Prince William, Princess Kate Middleton, and their children, attended the annual Easter Mattins service at St. George's Chapel. This marked the Wales family's return to the traditional public church outing after a two-year absence. Princess Anne and Prince Edward also joined the service with their families.
Notably absent were Prince Andrew's daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. Their absence comes amid the ongoing repercussions from their father's association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Prince Andrew was stripped of his royal titles in October 2025, and subsequently arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
King Charles previously issued a statement expressing deep concern over his brother's arrest, emphasizing that the law must be allowed to take its course. He affirmed his family's continued duty and service. Last year's Easter service saw Andrew and his daughters attend, while William, Kate, and their children opted for a private service with the Middleton family.
