Royal Youngster Prince Louis to Attend Easter Sunday Service at Windsor Castle
Prince Louis, the youngest member of the royal family, is set to make a special appearance at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle for the very first time this Easter Sunday.
Turning five this year, Prince Louis has been notably absent from previous ceremonies due to his tender age.
However, this weekend marks a significant moment as he joins his parents, Prince William and Kate Middleton, along with his siblings, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, for the annual Easter service.
Buckingham Palace has officially confirmed Prince Louis' attendance at the Windsor Chapel, adding to the excitement surrounding the event.
While it will be a debut for Prince Louis, both Prince George and Princess Charlotte will be returning for their second Easter Sunday service, having made a stylish entrance last year in coordinated navy and baby blue outfits.
In a departure from tradition, reports suggest that King Charles has relaxed one of the Queen's rules concerning his grandchildren, allowing for younger royals like Prince Louis to participate in significant family events.
Last Christmas, Prince Louis marked his first appearance at the Royal Family's annual church service at St. Mary's Magdalene Church in Norfolk, showcasing the growing role he plays within the monarchy.
As Prince Louis approaches his fifth birthday on April 23rd, just ahead of King Charles' coronation, details have emerged regarding the official roles of the young princes and princess.
A Royal Insider revealed that Prince George will play a central and prominent role during the coronation ceremony, serving as a Page of Honour tasked with carrying the King's robes as they enter and exit Westminster Abbey.
The select group of Pages of Honour, including George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, will accompany their grandfather and the Queen, symbolizing the continuity of the royal lineage.
Notably, only working royals will have a presence during this historic moment, reflecting King Charles' vision of a streamlined and focused monarchy that honors public service.
Exclusive plans obtained by reputable sources shed light on the King's intention to express gratitude to the nation alongside a limited number of dedicated royals.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, along with their three children – George, Charlotte, and Prince Louis IV – are expected to feature prominently in the ceremony.
However, the guest list excludes Prince Harry and Meghan, signaling a clear distinction between those actively serving the monarchy and those who have pursued alternative paths.
In a symbolic move, Camilla is poised to undergo a title change as she transitions to being known as Queen Camilla, a shift reflected in the official coronation invitations already issued.
This change signifies her role as Queen Consort alongside King Charles, marking a new chapter in the royal family's history as they prepare for the upcoming coronation ceremony.
