For the past two Easter Sundays, the Prince and Princess of Wales have skipped the traditional church-walk at Windsor Castle. Reportedly, King Charles basically organizes Easter like his mother used to: invite his children, his siblings and their children to church, then everyone goes back to the castle for an Easter lunch. When Charles was Prince of Wales, he rarely, if ever, missed a major religious holiday with his family. He saw it as his duty to turn up for all of the major Christian holidays across the board. Prince William does not feel the same way, clearly. One Easter, a decade ago, William skipped the family holiday and jetted off to go to Jecca Craig’s wedding. Over the years, we’ve been fed various excuses for why William and Kate have skipped Easter with the royals, and last year was a doozy. Apparently, William refused to go to church with his degenerate uncle Prince Andrew. Well, now that Andrew is banned from family events – I guess? – William had a new prerequisite for attending Easter this year: Andrew’s daughters had to be shunned as well.
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie will not attend the traditional Easter Sunday service with the Royal Family at Windsor. It is understood that with the agreement and understanding of the King, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsors’s daughters have made ‘alternative plans for this Easter’.
Sources have stressed that they were very much part of the family Christmas at Sandringham and ‘will be seen’ at future family celebrations.
But under the current circumstances, as their father is investigated by police over allegations of misconduct in public office, permission has been sought and granted for them to stay away.
In what will be good news for royal fans, however, the Prince and Princess of Wales and their family are expected to join the King and Queen, along with other family members at St George’s Chapel.
Disgraced former Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson appeared at last year’s Easter Sunday service with other members of the Royal Family, including King Charles and Queen Camilla. But there will be no such appearance from Andrew this year at the traditional Easter Matins service which takes place at the 15th-century chapel in Berkshire.
Andrew is currently under police investigation for allegedly leaking secrets to paedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein during his time in public office.
“Permission has been sought and granted for them to stay away…” Eh. I mean, I’m sure Beatrice and Eugenie don’t want to be front-and-center, but this reeks of William throwing a temper tantrum, demanding that King Charles ban Beatrice and Eugenie. William is clearly doing the same thing over Ascot – making his appearance and Kate’s appearance contingent on the exclusion of Beatrice and Eugenie. He’s truly going to be 44 years old in a few months and he acts like a 14-year-old Mean Girl.

Scooter. Is a spoiled brat and the king allows this. Please no selfies for the Wales kids during church walk nor should they be allowed by their parents to accept presents.
Keen did not go with scooter to jecca wedding . He probably did not want her there. Did she still show up at the Easter service
I think William will have a lonely reign
William and Kate seemed quite happy to play a huge part in Andrew’s rehabilitation, resplendent in front seat of their car, Kate in the back, for all those flashbulbs on the way to a family get-together – until the trickle turned into a tidal wave and they jumped ship (“nothing to do with us, guv”).
Hmm. Wonder how sparse it will be. Just the wales or will we also get the tindalls and the Phillips? Will it be a show of unification against the Yorks or will it just be the bare bones of the family? Easter feels early this year.
And scooter made sure uncle Andrew got on that plane to Balmoral after the queen died. And the scooters would invite Andrew and his ex to events to spite the sussexes.
I think Beatrice and Eugenie have been banned from family events. The statement has the same tone as the ones put out after Harry and Meghan decided to leave the UK. In those the Palace said that Harry and Meghan were much loved members of the family which was not true. The Palace stating that Beatrice and Eugenie will still be invited to events including Christmas does ring true to me.
Doesn’t ring true.
So I imagine that William has probably never been well liked by the family, because he appears to completely have always been the type to throw around status and hierarchy. But, I wonder if he was more tolerable in the past. Because now I have to wonder, can anyone in the family stand the sight of him? He seems so unpleasant, that I really question if being ” banned” from events because he doesn’t like you is a real punishment?
For years after Harry left, they positioned him and Kate and Zara and mike, or peter, as new best friends, which obviously was a ploy to other Harry. And they even try to point out how the entire family was behind William due to them attending the garden party, and not the Invictus 10-year event.
Now after his very callous welcome back to work after Anne’s TBI, and how KP is clearly targeting Beatrice’s marriage and humiliating Eugenie and Beatrice by this inviting them to events, is the family just through with him or are they still going to play the role in public because they can’t give up the association no matter how tarnished?
i can’t imagine anyone in that family actually likes him. I think Mike Tindall might bc he and William can drink together and talk about sports. Zara and Peter probably have figured out how to handle him, since they grew up as the older cousins who weren’t considered “royal” since they didnt have titles and they always knew they would not be working royals. So the dynamic there is going to be very different from the dynamic with the York sisters.
but in general when we see public pictures of the family it just seems like no one is really interacting with him or Kate. The most we’ve seen someone interact was Sophie fawning over them at the commonwealth service in 2020. But thats transactional for her, she knows whose ass to kiss for her future. i dont think she really like them.
The only thing William has is that he’s the future king and I’m sure he makes sure everyone knows that every minute he’s with them.
this man is such an ahole that his younger brother left the country to get away from him and has no real desire to ever see him again.
(and yes there was a lot going on with harry’s decision to leave, but had William behaved in a more gentleman like manner over the years, the whole thing could have been very different IMO. Even the sandringham summit was rigged by William.)
I believe it is kate who plotted against B&E. Because she is the one who was continously mean to those girls. Even she made B cry during a party just like she did to Meghan. When M came she changed her target. Now M is not here and never going to be here. From the very beginning kate and Carol used media to write rubbish articles. Now following their foot septs William is ruining his very own future. Charles is a wrong husband and wrong father, but he wouldn’t have groomed William like this. Because W is very much distant from monarchy. I blame kate for this. Diana was very much supportive and kind to everyone, once when Andrew chased Peter during a photoshoot Diana made him stand next to him. (This could be karma, he chased his sister’s son. But his very own daughters with titles are being chased now). And I suspect KandW is making sure to remove all possible heirs, so he can sell and enjoy all dutchy. He removed Harry and his line (not officially but technically), now Andrew’s line. Ann is not problem. Edward already distanced. So this is about owning Dutch money not Andrew scandal. From very beginning we know QE made sure all of her children and grand children receive funds in future. She bought homes for all and even set up trust funds to B&E. K&W clearly knew Harry will get a home and fund that’s why they plotted to chase him out before his 2nd child. And if not to Andrew then definitely Charles would buy homes or give funds to E&B. This is the major reason why WanK hates the York sister. Zara and Peter are private individuals, so no issues. Sophie has brain that’s why she distanced her kids. So that she will leave with atleast what is left. I strongly believe it is K who used W’s rage to remove each member from the family line. (Willy is not brainy enough to plot. Middletons,are expert manipulators and grifters) W hates Harry from beginning but not York girls. Also W doesn’t have enough education about finance (how can a man who doesn’t know to read can be a good financial analyst). This is very much a middleton heist with Willy’s mask. His rage and unintelligence is his worst enemies.
I think Beatrice, Eugenie and their families are lucky.
Who would want to go to any family event where Peggington is going to be present.
This ‘banning’ of Beatrice and Eugenie feels performative to me, an attempt to convince the public that this would constitute enough ‘punishment’ from the royals, and open the door to everything returning as it was before Paedy-Andy and Grasping Fergie and their covering-up royal relatives were unmasked.
They’re already stating that the princesses will return to future royal events.
That may depend on what else is uncovered about them in the coming months… I hope some investigative journalist is looking into Beatrice and Eugenie’s shady deals of their own.
And their knowing acceptance of obviously tainted Epstein and other corrupt money from their disgusting parents.
Totally performative. “We stripped (sort of) Andrew’s titles, y’all! And now we’re punishing his daughters–for shady deals they might or might not have done, or just to rub Andrew’s nose in it–it doesn’t really matter why! We’ve done enough, y’all!”
Still waiting for something meaningful. Like, Charles threatens to withhold Andrew’s security and housing until he talks to the FBI or says more to the Met.
Unpopular opinion, but I don’t feel bad for Beatrice and Eugenie. They played the game kissing ass for the royal family for invites to garden parties, ascot, and to maintain their most likely peppercorn rent on their palace apartments. It’s all fun and a games until you’re on the outside and KP is waging the smear campaign on you and attacking your marriage and business. Laughs in H&M. Perhaps B&E should call up Piers Morgan for cover. They were happy to show up for “family unity” when the royals need to prove a point.
Both women are still benefiting from their parents shady connections
and were supportive of Andrew well after the newsnight interview, well after the 12 million pound settlement to Virgina, and well after the fist round of Epstein drops. Eugenie just stepped down from the sex trafficking charity even though her presence has been problematic for years. They’ll be fine.
That’s fair. I think it’s a bit of play stupid games and win stupid prizes. They grew up in that RF system and were banking on being protected when the writing has always been on the wall. Especially after what happened with Harry. But most of the disgust is more at just watching the way the RF throws people under the bus left and right. When there are far more guilty members like the actual parents, Andrew and Fergie. And it’s not like the monarch and the heir and their wives are anything special except for the fact that they’re at the top of the heirarchy.
I just think this “outrage” is mostly performative and I’m sure that B&E know this. They’re still being protected with this very same hit piece taking pains to say that they will be present at future family events including Christmas, which is more than they’ve ever done for H&M. B&E will be fine, they just need to rightly lay low for a bit and wait for the next time they need to coordinate in all burgundy in the next show of family unity.
Interesting. I can see that.
Why would parents of young kids want to dress up Easter morning and do a performative look-at-us-we’re-the-best-Christians walk to church anyway?
