King Charles and Queen Camilla have attended an Easter Sunday church service in St. George's Chapel, Windsor.

They were joined by other members of the Royal Family, including the Prince of Wales and Catherine, Princess of Wales, who has not been at the traditional event for the past two years.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, and daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are absent, after attending last year.

It is understood the princesses have made "alternative plans" for Easter.

Cheers were heard from onlookers as Prince William and Princess Catherine led their children into the chapel.

As they walked, Princess Charlotte waved to the crowds of people watching on from behind barriers.

The Wales' missed the service last year as they decided to go on a family holiday to Norfolk, and skipped the year before as it came shortly after Catherine's cancer diagnosis.

Princess Anne joined, accompanied by husband Sir Tim Laurence, as well as Prince Edward and his family.

The King and Queen arrived last and one onlooker was heard shouting "God bless the King".

As they left the chapel, the King and Queen shook the hands of the public, wishing them a happy Easter.

The Queen remarked that the service was "good" when asked how it was.

The service is seen as a traditional family event as opposed to an official engagement.

The King did not issue an Easter message this year.

On Thursday, the King and Queen attended the traditional Maundy service at Denbighshire in Wales.

That event commemorates the Last Supper and the importance of humility and service to others.

The King presented gifts to 77 men and 77 women from the UK in recognition of outstanding Christian service and for helping people in their communities.

Mountbatten-Windsor was stripped of his royal title and remains under investigation having been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office and has moved to Sandringham, Norfolk.

Mountbatten-Windsor and his family have been engulfed by the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, with continuing questions about links to the US sex offender.

The former prince has denied any wrongdoing from his connections with Epstein.

Meanwhile, Sunday marked the first time Dame Sarah Mullally, the new Archbishop of Canterbury, delivered an Easter sermon as spiritual leader of the Church of England.

In it, she called for an end to "violence and destruction" in the Middle East.

Mullally prayed "with renewed urgency" for peace to a congregation at Canterbury Cathedral, as the US-Israel war against Iran enters its sixth week.

It is only the second time the Maundy service has been held in Wales in its 800-year history.

While the trip is not officially confirmed, the King and Queen Camilla are reportedly planning to visit the US at the end of April.

His Majesty made the joke during a visit to a "trail-blazing" solar panel company in Oxford.

King Charles III will attend Parliament to read out the government's legislative agenda for the coming months.

The pair were handed a sword to slice through a rather sturdy looking cake in the shape of houses.
