Oh what a suprise, the Doolittle’s are shirking again.
More like “to the surprise of no one”… Willy hates his job.
Man I wish I could just skip out on my job whenever I felt like it and not face any repercussions.
I mean, they just went through their Catherine’s cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy treatment. Charles is unwell and likely only has a short time left on the throne. They’re likely getting their last time in as a family of five before all hell breaks loose and they lose the ability to connect like this.
Yes, I think they should be doing more outings. Yes, I think they should be more visual and taking on more active responsibility.
But I also get what they’re doing right now.
One of the creepiest bit of royal footage I ever watched was video of William and Kate making this church walk when their children were younger. The audio was intact – that is, it was not dubbed over with grad music or commentators saying whatever.
The cameramen kept calling out creepily to the children (and the adults) trying to get some reaction from them for a photo. “Charlotte!! Charlotte!! Come on darling, give us a smile!! Charlotte!!!”
I can imagine it today, “William!!! William!!!! have you talked to your brother lately??? Have you tried Meghan’s jam?!? Kate!! Kate!!! How are you feeling?!? Are you glad you are still alive for your children?!?! Are you a racist Kate?? Kate!! Kate!!”
I can certainly understand them trying to avoid this as much as possible until their children get a bit older.
Good for them! I worry for Catherine being overexposed to germs or illness. She needs to maintain a strong immune system. Glad they are making choices suitable to her + their family.
Wonder if they’re planning on hosting the Middletons at Amner Hall. Tbh sounds nicer to me than having to be on display walking to church and having to spend time with creepy Uncle Andy.
How is this a surprise move? Lol. It would be more surprising if they went.
when william ascends to the throne, i expect to see him only carry out the strict constitutional duties required of him as king and less of the day to day stuff. fewer engagements, fewer charity visits, fewer walkabouts.
It must be nice to not have to do anything and have tax payers pay for your expenses. Ah to be white and royal. Anyway back to work with the other plebes
I had a feeling they weren’t going from some of the earlier reporting
For the people complaining about it, the Easter service isn’t an official engagement and doesn’t count as such, fans being disappointed they won’t see them is understandable, but there’s no reason for people who don’t like them making a big deal out of it, it reminds me of when people were making a big deal of them missing the family Christmas lunch last year(also a family event)
Before Charles became King, he and Camilla spent Easter in Scotland and didn’t join the Queen in Windsor 🤷🏻♀️
Why is it surprising? prince Charles spent Easter in Scotland most of the time.
For those that are curious a tracking of who has attended Easter at Windsor since 2010.

TLDR:
* Although [King Charles](https://people.com/tag/prince-charles/), [Queen Camilla](https://people.com/tag/camilla-duchess-of-cornwall/) and other members of the royal family are set to attend the Easter Matins Service at Windsor Castle on Sunday, April 20, the Prince and Princess of Wales won’t be among them. Instead, Prince William and Princess Kate will spend the weekend with their children at their country home in Norfolk.
* Kate and William were regulars at the gathering throughout the years, but they [skipped last year’s outing](https://people.com/kate-middleton-and-prince-william-s-family-skips-easter-outing-with-royals-amid-her-cancer-treatment-8621153) amid Princess Kate’s cancer news, which was announced just weeks before, and spent the holiday privately. In January, the Princess of Wales announced her [cancer was in remission](https://people.com/kate-middleton-is-in-remission-from-cancer-8774292).
* Prince William, 42, and Princess Kate, 43, [last attended Easter with the royal family in 2023](https://people.com/royals/kate-middleton-prince-william-easter-church-outing-children-prince-george-princess-charlotte-prince-louis/), when Prince Louis, now 6, [joined them for the first time](https://people.com/royals/prince-louis-royal-easter-debut-best-photos-prince-george-princess-charlotte/). (Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, 9, made their [royal Easter debut](https://people.com/royals/prince-george-princess-charlotte-royal-easter-debut/) the previous year together.)

What was the family gathering that William didn’t attend allegedly due to partying too much? I thought that was Easter, but I guess not?
