Prince William and Kate Middleton are planning to skip this year’s Easter Sunday church service and are also choosing not to join the royal family’s wider gathering at Windsor Castle, it was reported Thursday. Reports said William and Kate have decided to spend the Easter weekend with their children at their country home in Norfolk, with sources saying the couple are “choosing to spend time together as a family before the children go back to school.” It will mark the second year in a row that the Waleses have not attended the service, skipping the 2024 edition after Kate was diagnosed with cancer. The decision aligns with the Wales’ desire to focus as much as possible on their young family before they accede to the throne.
