The British royal family’s Easter service is typically a moment of unity and tradition. That said, this year’s gathering is already drawing attention for who won’t be there. Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are expected to miss the annual service at Windsor, with official explanations pointing to personal plans. However, behind the scenes, insiders are suggesting a more complex narrative, perhaps involving Prince William. Reports now claim that the decision may not have been entirely theirs.
Prince William is reportedly behind these royals skipping Easter service, claims insider
According to multiple reports, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie will not attend the royal family’s Easter Sunday service at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor. Officially, it has been described as a mutual understanding, with the sisters said to have “alternative plans.”
However, one insider has claimed the situation may not be as straightforward. Speaking to Rob Shuter’s “Naughty But Nice,” the source alleged, “This wasn’t optional. It was decided for them,” suggesting the absence may have been influenced by internal decision-making rather than personal scheduling.
The same insider pointed to Prince William as playing a more active role in shaping the public image of the royal family. According to the claim, he is “tightening the circle” and focusing on what best represents the monarchy moving forward. “He’s thinking about the future, not feelings,” the source alleged. “It’s about protecting the brand.”
These claims have not been independently confirmed, and palace aides continue to maintain that the sisters’ absence is temporary. There are suggestions that Beatrice and Eugenie could return to future royal events, including major family gatherings.
Still, some observers believe the move may reflect deeper tensions tied to ongoing controversies surrounding their father, ex-Prince Andrew. While the sisters have retained their royal titles and continued to appear at public engagements in the past, insiders suggest the situation remains “complicated.”
The Easter service itself remains an important event in the royal calendar. King Charles and Queen Camilla are expected to attend, along with Prince William and Kate Middleton, who missed last year’s service. Their presence is likely to reinforce a sense of continuity, even as questions linger about evolving roles within the family.
