Royal Family Gathers for Easter Weekend Reunion
The Royal Family is gearing up for a special Easter weekend reunion, with Kate, the Princess of Wales, poised to take on a new role as the family comes together for a traditional Sunday lunch at Windsor Castle.
This gathering holds particular significance as it marks the first Easter without Queen Elizabeth II and commemorates the second anniversary of Prince Philip's passing.
Royal expert Ingrid Seward has hinted at a grand family reunion on Sunday, excluding Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, providing a prelude to King Charles' upcoming coronation in May.
Traditionally, the Royal Family observes a series of customs during the four-day holiday, including a Good Friday fish dinner and a Sunday service at St. George's Chapel followed by a lavish four-course roast back at the castle.
However, Ms. Seward suggests that King Charles may deviate from one of his late mother's strict rules.
The Queen had enforced a rule that children must exhibit proper table manners before dining with the adults, but Charles is rumored to have relaxed this regulation, according to Ms. Seward.
Furthermore, it is anticipated that Kate will play a pivotal role in organizing activities for the children during the Easter festivities.
With her exceptional organizational skills, she is likely to oversee an Easter egg hunt, visits to the Royal Mews to see the horses, as well as enjoy the indoor pool and pony rides.
Queen Elizabeth II had a tradition of inviting family members to the castle for the extended weekend, providing them with a chance to bond away from their royal duties.
Former royal chef Darren McGrady has shed light on the significance of mealtimes during the Easter weekend at the castle.
The family typically indulges in a traditional fish dinner on Friday, followed by a sumptuous four-course roast lamb on Sunday.
Moreover, the royals have a unique custom of enjoying cheese at lunch rather than dinner, with a preference for fresh Windsor cheese produced at the Windsor Dairy.
This year's Easter lunch promises to be a poignant occasion for the royal family, serving as a time to celebrate the holiday and reminisce about Prince Philip.
As preparations for King Charles' coronation intensify, Kate's expanded role in organizing children's activities adds an extra layer of excitement to the weekend.
The world eagerly awaits updates on the royal family's Easter plans, anticipating a memorable and festive celebration in the days ahead.
