Will Kate’s 1st Easter Without the Queen Include Visiting Her Special Place

Queen Elizabeth II on her birthday. On April 21, which would have marked the late monarch's 97th birthday, Prince William and Kate Middleton have released a never-before-seen image of the queen taken by the Princess of Wales last summer at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. In the photograph, Queen Elizabeth is seated on a green couch and surrounded by several of her grandchildren and great grandchildren, including Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Also pictured are Prince Edward's children, James, Earl of Wessex, and Lady Louise Windsor, along with Princess Anne's grandchildren, who do not have royal titles: Savannah Phillips, Isla Phillips, Mia Tindall, Lena Tindall, and Lucas Tindall. A post shared by The Prince and Princess of Wales (@princeandprincessofwales)The new post comes just weeks before King Charles III's historic, star-studded coronation ceremony is set to commence May 6. Last month, the king honored his late mother with another throwback image on his first U.K.

Lady Pamela Hicks, who was one of Queen Elizabeth II’s bridesmaids, has responded after recently finding out she would be left off the scaled-back guest list for King Charles III’s coronation next month.  "How very, very sensible," Pamela's daughter, India Hicks, wrote in an Instagram post Wednesday of her mother's reaction after receiving the call from the king’s personal secretary.  India noted her mother appreciated that the invitations were based on "meritocracy not aristocracy." She said Lady Pamela added, "I am going to follow with great interest the events of this new reign."  India continued, "The King was sending his great love and apologies, he was offending many family and friends with the reduced list. My mother was not offended at all."  She said it was explained that while Queen Elizabeth II had 8,000 guests at her coronation in 1953, Charles wanted to scale it back, "alleviating the burden on the state."  Lady Pamela is the daughter of Lord Mountbatten who was assassinated by the IRA in 1979 and a first cousin to Prince Philip.

Kate Middleton "didn’t want to be" at Balmoral Castle when the Queen died, but was instead with her children, a royal expert shared.The late Queen Elizabeth died at Balmoral Castle on 8 September 2022 at the age of 96, just a few months after celebrating her Platinum Jubilee, she was the longest-reigning British monarch. While Prince William went to Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland when the Queen passed, his wife, Kate Middleton stayed at home with her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Kate Middleton stayed behind in England as other members of the royal family rushed to Balmoral to be by the late Queen Elizabeth's deathbed in September last year. Now royal biographer Robert Jobson has claimed that Kate had no choice but to remain behind in a bid to ensure that Meghan Markle would not join her husband Prince Harry at the Scottish estate.

The royal family were out in force last week to attend the first Easter service of the new reign at St George’s Chapel in Windsor. And while some of the main talking points proved to be Prince Louis’ first appearance at the annual service, and the effortlessly elegant outfits worn by the Princess of Wales, Zara Tindall and Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, it was another royal who turned heads.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are following the late Princess Diana 's methods in preparing their children for life in the monarchy, according to OK!'s royal expert. The couple's "brilliant" and "effective" techniques are about giving Prince George, nine, Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, who turns five on 23 April a "balance", says royal expert Jennie Bond.

grudge match between sisters-in-law Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle reached a boiling point when Queen Elizabeth passed away last September, according to one royal tattletale.The Princess of Wales has “built up resentment” toward Markle for making the former miss saying goodbye to her beloved monarch, according to royal biographer Robert Jobson, author of the new tell-all “Our King: Charles III: The Man and the Monarch Revealed.” Middleton, 41, allegedly felt she was forced to stay back in England as Elizabeth died at Balmoral — in an attempt to prevent Prince Harry, 38, and Markle, 41, from traveling to Scotland.Jobson claimed that King Charles had ordered both wives to stay behind as it was “not appropriate” for spouses to be by the queen’s deathbed.“Harry was insisting Meghan travel with him to Scotland as the queen’s life ebbed away, but the king said it was only for the children and grandchildren to be with the queen,” Jobson, 49, claimed.The biographer also alleged that Charles, 74, asked Prince William not to bring the then-Duchess of Cambridge as, “if Catherine doesn’t come, Meghan can’t either.”Jobson added, “Privately, he wanted to say Meghan was not welcome — but he couldn’t say that to Harry, so he personally intervened and asked Kate to stay back so that it was fairer on Meghan.”However, Middleton was anxious to jet-set off to Balmoral to see the monarch one last time before she died due to her close friendship with Queen Elizabeth.“Kate deliberately stayed away, but she desperately wanted to be there with the Queen in her last moments,” Robson wrote. “That’s eaten Kate up and has built up resentment towards Meghan.”Elizabeth died on Sept.

Kate Middleton was forced to stay in England as members of the Royal family rushed to the Queen's deathbed in an attempt to prevent Meghan from travelling to Aberdeenshire, it has been claimed.
