Kate and William were noticeably absent from the departure of King Charles III on Easter Sunday, a departure marked by the monarch's presence alongside Queen Camilla and other members of the Royal Family.
In contrast to the public appearance of King Charles III, who presided over the Easter Sunday service at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, Kate Middleton and Prince William opted for a more private celebration at home.
In high spirits and accompanied by Queen Camilla, King Charles III attended the Easter Sunday service, taking moments to greet both from a distance and up close, despite undergoing treatment for a recent cancer diagnosis, a situation mirrored by his daughter-in-law, the Princess of Wales.
Meanwhile, Kate Middleton, who recently addressed speculations surrounding her health in a video acknowledging her cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy treatment, chose to spend Easter Sunday with Prince William and their children, Princes George, Charlotte, and Louis.
Originally, Kensington Palace marked Easter Sunday as the date for Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, to resume public engagements after undergoing a scheduled abdominal operation. However, her cancer diagnosis altered these plans, leading to their absence from the Easter Sunday celebration attended by other royals.
This absence aligns with Kate's message urging for privacy during her treatment, shifting expectations from a swift return to public life to a period of necessary privacy and healing.
While details of King Charles III's cancer treatment remain undisclosed, reports indicate a positive outlook and optimism from both the monarch and his medical team. During the Easter celebration at St. George's Chapel, the king and queen took precautionary measures, sitting apart from other attendees as advised by medical professionals.
Though absent from the formal reception, King Charles III and Queen Camilla took the opportunity to greet well-wishers outside the chapel, symbolizing a commitment to engagement with the public despite health challenges.
