Monarch gives personal nod to Prince William and his children while Duke of Sussex faces continued royal disconnect
King Charles has made a heartfelt gesture toward Prince William’s family ahead of Easter, as preparations are underway for a cheerful royal gathering—highlighting the growing closeness between the monarch and his heir while Prince Harry remains noticeably absent from family events.
Following a state visit to Italy and a restorative stop at Balmoral Castle, the King is expected to return to his Sandringham estate in Norfolk in time for the Easter weekend. Continuing a cherished tradition, the royal estate will host an Easter egg trail for children, with proceeds supporting the East Anglian Air Ambulance—a cause deeply meaningful to William, who served as a pilot for the organisation from 2015 to 2017.
The announcement, shared via Sandringham’s official social media, comes as the Prince and Princess of Wales prepare to spend the holiday at their Anmer Hall residence with their children—George, Charlotte, and Louis—who are currently enjoying their school break.
Known for his affection as a grandfather, King Charles is believed to have arranged the Easter festivities with his grandchildren in mind, creating a joyful moment for the family during his ongoing cancer treatment.
The family may also reunite at Windsor for the traditional Easter Sunday church service, which Catherine missed last year due to her own cancer diagnosis and treatment.
In contrast, the celebrations come as the Duke of Sussex continues to fight a legal battle over police protection in the UK, citing safety concerns for himself and his children, Archie and Lilibet. The absence of Harry and his family during key royal moments continues to underscore the deepening divide and missed opportunities for reunion—particularly during family occasions designed to bring generations together.
