Why the Easter weekend will be particularly poignant for Prince Harry as he celebrates away from dad King Charles

Prince Harry will soon be busy making special memories with his wife Meghan Markle and their two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet during the Easter weekend at their home in California.

Across the pond, his father, King Charles, will attend church for the annual Easter Mattins Service at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle on Easter Sunday.

The weekend will no doubt be poignant for Harry, who previously mentioned in his memoir, Spare, that his dad would “always make a big deal about Easter

In one of his chapters, in which he details the fractured relationship between him and his brother Prince William, the Duke of Sussex recalled a moment when the Prince and Princess of Wales were left upset over “Easter presents”.

“Willy and Kate were apparently upset that we hadn’t given them Easter presents,” he wrote. “Easter presents? Was that a thing? Willy and I had never exchanged Easter presents. Pa always made a big deal about Easter, sure, but that was Pa

Later in his book, Prince Harry looked back fondly at the “simple Easter Sundays” when he returned to St. George’s Chapel for his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022.

“When we got to St. George’s Chapel, amid the roar of dozens of bagpipes, I thought of all the big occasions I’d experienced under that roof. Grandpa’s farewell, my wedding.

Even the ordinary times, simple Easter Sundays, felt especially poignant, the whole family alive and together. Suddenly I was wiping my eyes. Why now? I wondered. Why? The following afternoon Meg and I left for America.”

The British royal family tend to flock to Windsor for this religious holiday. The Easter Sunday service takes place in the private chapel at St George’s Chapel, a 14th-century building located in the Lower Ward of the castle

Crowds often gather here to welcome the royals before the service begins and afterwards many of the ladies receive bouquets from local children who have also attended church.

Over the years, Queen Elizabeth II was joined by immediate and extended members of her family on Easter Service, including her grandchildren, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips and all of their respective families.
