Breaking News: For the second year running, Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Prince and Princess of Wales, were absent from the traditional royal Easter celebrations.

Prince William and Kate Middleton skipped out on royal Easter celebrations for the second year in a row as King Charles and Queen Camilla took the lead at Windsor Castle Sunday morning.

Charles, 76, and Camilla, 77, were dressed in their Easter blues as they were photographed at St. George’s Chapel in England.

Charles’ siblings Princess Anne with her husband Sir Timothy Laurence, Prince Andrew with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson and Prince Edward with his wife Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh were all in attendance.

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, Prince Andrews’ daughters, were also in attendance with their husbands Edoardo Mapelli Mozz and Jack Brooksbank. Edward’s son, James, Earl of Wessex, also joined.

William, 42, and Middleton, 43, were absent for the second year in a row as the Prince and Princess of Wales spent the holiday at their country home in Norfolk with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Last year, the couple and their kids skipped the holiday while Middleton was in the throes of her cancer battle.

Middleton revealed in January that she was in remission four months after completing her cancer treatment.

I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to The Royal Marsden for looking after me so well during the past year,” she began in an emotional post.

“It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focussed on recovery,” she continued. “As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal.”

Middleton added that she is “looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead” now that “there is much to look forward to.”

She has since been back on royal duties making appearances including the annual Commonwealth Day service in London and St. Patrick’s Day holiday parade.

Last week, Middleton gave rare insight to finding “peace” during stressful situations while visiting the Lake District in the UK.

I find it a very spiritual and very intense emotional reconnection, I suppose, these environments,” she said in a video.

“Not everyone has that same relationship perhaps with nature, but it is so therefore meaningful for me as a place to balance and find a sort of sense of peace and reconnection in what is otherwise a very busy world.”
