Buckingham Palace no longer hides what happened to Charles III just a few days ago

Last Easter Sunday, the British royal family gathered to celebrate one of the most significant traditions on the royal calendar. After attending the traditional religious service at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, King Charles III and Queen Camilla shared a lunch with the family. However, this event was special, as the monarch broke his usual habit of avoiding lunches for health reasons.

An Easter Lunch with Tradition

Charles III is known for being disciplined with his daily routine, especially regarding his diet: he usually avoids lunches, considering that they interfere with his concentration and health. However, on Easter Sunday, the king joined the festive lunch, enjoying the roast lamb, a dish he greatly appreciates. This dish, which symbolizes the "sacrificial lamb" of the Old Testament, is also significant in the Christian religion, representing Jesus as the "Lamb of God."

The lunch also included a selection of cheeses, highlighting those from Windsor Dairy, and fresh fruits. After the main course, Easter buns were prepared and served with afternoon tea. Although Charles III likes chocolate, especially during this time, he has reduced his consumption due to his concern for his health, particularly while receiving medical treatment.

The Absence of the Princes of Wales

One of the big surprises this year was the absence of the Princes of Wales, William and Kate. Instead of joining the royal family in Windsor, they decided to spend Easter Day more privately with the Middleton family. They attended St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, near their residence at Anmer Hall, and this sparked speculation about the reason for their absence from the official event.

Kate wore an elegant brown coat and a trilby hat, while William opted for a dark suit. Also present were Kate's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton. At the end of the service, the church's vicar, Canon Paul Williams, offered Easter buns to all attendees, a custom repeated every year.

The Importance of Family Traditions

Despite the absences, the tradition of Easter Sunday remains a key moment for the royal family. King Charles III and Queen Camilla enjoyed a day with family, celebrating Easter with the same spirit of unity and continuity that characterizes the British monarchy. The celebration remains an important pillar in the life of the Windsors, even as personal circumstances change.
