The Prince and Princess of Wales<\/a> are set to skip an Easter tradition as their plans for the holiday were revealed.<\/p>\n William and Kate are set to spend the Easter weekend with Prince George and Louis, and daughter Princess Charlotte<\/a> at their country home in Norfolk<\/a>. <\/p>\n They will not join the King and Queen at the usual family gathering at Windsor Castle<\/a>.<\/p>\n The plans are to \u2018enjoy some extended time as a family over Easter\u2019, according to a royal source who spoke to the Mirror, and the King is said to have agreed.<\/p>\n \t\t They said: \u2018They are choosing to spend time together as a family before the children go back to school<\/a>.\u2019<\/p>\n It is the second year running that William and Kate have chosen not to attend a service at Windsor. Last year\u2019s service came only weeks after Kate was diagnosed with cancer.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tWilliam and Kate enjoy family time together\t\t\t<\/p>\n Kate is now in remission after she was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer last year.<\/p>\n The couple has a country home on the Sandringham estate known as Amner Hall and will spend Easter there, a source has said.<\/p>\n The area is important to the couple and the Waleses were seen in a video released last year enjoying the Noroflk countryside. It came after news Kate had completed her chemotherapy.<\/p>\n Kate has said she has a \u2018spiritual\u2019 connection with nature and that the natural world was her family\u2019s \u2018sanctuary\u2019.<\/p>\n Likely to attend the service this year are Princess Anne and her husband Sir Tim Laurence, along with Prince Edward and wife Sophie.<\/p>\n It is not known if Prince Andrew will attend. The Duke of York and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson attended the service last year, however.<\/p>\n It comes as flight restrictions were revealed to be in place over the King\u2019s home of Sandringham following a security scare during the visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.<\/p>\n Security services requested the restrictions over the Norfolk estate on March 4, just days after King Charles III hosted Zelensky at his royal home. The order was signed off by transport secretary Heidi Alexander and was agreed with the Civil Aviathion Authority.<\/p>\n \t\t It restricts aircraft from descending below 2,000 feet for \u2018reasons of public safety and security\u2019 and came into effect on March 10.<\/p>\n The order says it was imposed because of \u2018the need for security for members of the Royal Family and other dignitaries staying at or visiting Sandringham House\u2019.<\/p>\n Visitors to Sandringham, as well as royal flights and the emergency services, are exempt from the order that was put in place following reports of drones flying over the estate during the weekend the Ukrainian leader was in the UK.<\/p>\n The King welcomed Mr Zelensky to Sandringham on March 2 following a defence summit in London.<\/p>\n The Sun reported that a source said it is understood a drone was traced to a man sitting in a car close to Sandringham. He was not a member of the media.<\/p>\n Another was traced to a photographer, but the source of one of the other drones was not clear.<\/p>\n Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@metro.co.uk<\/a>.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n For more stories like this, <\/strong>check our news page<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow![\"King](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SEI_247878913-b340-e1744978805780.jpg\")
