The Royal Family will mark Easter Sunday with a traditional church service in Windsor, led by King Charles and Queen Camilla, joined by senior royals. After the service, they will return to Windsor Castle for their customary Easter celebrations, including a roast dinner and chocolate eggs.
Former royal chef Darren McGrady revealed that the family's Easter weekend begins on Good Friday with hot cross buns for breakfast and a fish dinner, typically hake. On Easter Sunday, after church, they enjoy a four-course roast lamb meal with seasonal vegetables. The late Queen Elizabeth preferred her meat well done and would take the first two slices.
McGrady noted that the family emphasises seasonal eating, with King Charles known for his dedication to organic farming. Children historically dined separately until they could properly use cutlery, but this rule may have been relaxed under Charles. After lunch, the royals gather for afternoon tea with a variety of Easter eggs.
While King Charles is not fond of chocolate, the family indulges in bespoke eggs crafted by private chefs, featuring sugar floral decorations for adults and vibrant designs for children. The Prince and Princess of Wales have missed recent services to spend time with their children during school breaks, but this year's attendance remains unconfirmed.
