King Charles<\/a> and Queen Camilla<\/a> will lead members of the Royal Family next week<\/a> at the Easter Sunday church service, Buckingham Palace has announced. It will mark their first major appearance<\/a> since returning to the UK from a four-day state visit to Italy earlier this week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The annual Easter Mattins Service will take place at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, on April 20. It has not yet been confirmed whether the Prince and Princess of Wales’s will attend, however, in its new update, the Palace said Their Majesties will be joined by other members of the Royal Family.<\/p>\n

The statement read: “Their Majesties The King and Queen, accompanied by Members of the Royal Family, will attend the Easter Matins Service at St. George\u2019s Chapel, Windsor on Easter Sunday.”<\/p>\n

Last year, Charles did attend the annual service<\/a> in Windsor, however with fewer royals to accompany him, in what was a slightly different service due to his cancer treatment at the time, in a bid to limit those who he came into contact with.<\/p>\n

Princess Kate did not attend the service as she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy for a type of cancer.<\/p>\n

However, as she is now in remission, it is still possible that she could attend, even though there has been no confirmation yet.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes hours after the King and Queen bid farewell to Italy<\/a>, where they spent four days carrying out various engagements in Rome and Ravenna.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, the royal couple were cheered on by huge crowds in the small city of Ravenna in northern Italy, as thousands of wellwishers gathered in it’s central square holding flags and flowers to catch a glimpse of their royal guests.<\/p>\n

Ravenna is home to just 159,000 people.<\/p>\n

Charles and Camilla spent most of the day touring the city’s attractions with their final engagement of the day seeing them say “arrivederci” to their Italian hosts after being swept up in a chaotic carnival atmosphere before heading to the airport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"King Charles and Queen Camilla will lead members of the Royal Family next week at the Easter Sunday…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11306,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,2633,7730,7731,1760,7737,7738,7732,7733,2658,7736,7735,7734,2607,7739,7710,519],"class_list":{"0":"post-11305","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-buckingham-palace","10":"tag-charles","11":"tag-charles-iii","12":"tag-king-charles","13":"tag-king-charles-easter","14":"tag-king-charles-easter-service","15":"tag-king-charles-latest","16":"tag-king-charles-latest-news","17":"tag-king-charles-news","18":"tag-king-charles-palace","19":"tag-king-charles-statement","20":"tag-king-charles-update","21":"tag-queen-camilla","22":"tag-queen-camilla-news","23":"tag-royal-families","24":"tag-royal-family"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114320431367960243","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11305","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11305"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11305\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11306"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
