The Princess rewore a tailored boucle and chiffon midi dress, previously seen during a joint engagement with Princess Anne. She paired the classic look with a new, custom wide-brim saucer hat by Sean Barrett, adorned with delicate floral details. Completing the spring-ready outfit, she wore her trademark brunette waves loose and opted for natural makeup, smiling warmly as the family entered the chapel.

The service is followed by the longstanding tradition of a four-course roast dinner and luxurious chocolate eggs for all the family.

James, 18, is the youngest grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II. He joined his father, Prince Edward, The Duke of Edinburgh, while his mother, Sophie, The Duchess of Edinburgh, and sister, Lady Louise Windsor, were both absent.

Princess Charlotte looked so sweet at St. George’s Chapel alongside her parents and her brothers. To ward off the morning chill, she rewore a bespoke butterscotch Catherine Walker coat dress featuring mocha brown accents, a piece she previously debuted on Christmas Day 2025.

The sophisticated camel-toned look drew comparisons to a 1982 Arabella Pollen coat worn by her late grandmother, Princess Diana. Beneath the coat, Charlotte wore a new £200 'Blue Pleated Chiffon Dress' from Self-Portrait’s current collection, completing the ensemble with leather ballet pumps by Tory Burch.

After the hour-long service, the royal party moved from the chapel to the deanery for tea with the Dean of Windsor, The Right Reverend Christopher Cocksworth.

After around 20 minutes, the King appeared alongside his wife, who was presented with a posy by Kit Bannan, 10, a member of the Windsor Castle community. 

There were no plans for a walkabout given how cold and windy it was, but the couple performed a short meet-and-greet upon hearing the cheers of the public waiting outside the chapel. 

Frank Gates, seven, from Egremont in Cumbria, was smartly dressed in the uniform of the Coldstream Guards and proudly saluted his Colonel-in-Chief, the King. 

Before their arrival, he said: "I really want to be in the Coldstream Guards when I am older."  

Arriving at St. George’s Chapel this morning, King Charles shared a series of tender moments with his grandchildren. Accompanied by Queen Camilla in the State Bentley, the monarch appeared in high spirits as he greeted Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven.

Before entering the chapel, the King affectionately blew a kiss to the three children and offered a gentle, playful tap on the shoulder to his youngest grandson, Louis. The Princess of Wales marked the sovereign's arrival with a traditional curtsy, standing alongside the Earl of Wessex, as the King led the royal family into the service.

Prince Edward turned the Easter Matins service into a father-son outing, attending with 18-year-old James, Earl of Wessex James, Earl of Wessex, while Duchess Sophie and Lady Louise Windsor were notably absent.

Although the Duchess had attended the 2025 service, it is understood she missed this year's celebration after feeling "under the weather".

Also absent were Zara Tindall and Mike Tindall. See the full list of royals who missed the service here.

We hope you've had a happy Easter and have enjoyed our coverage of the royals' holiday.

We'll be back with regularly scheduled programming tomorrow morning.
