King Charles Extends Olive Branch To Disgraced Brother Prince Andrew At Easter Church Service

King Charles and Queen Camilla have attended the traditional Easter Sunday church service at Windsor Castle, just outside London – with no sign of Prince William or Kate Middleton, but disgraced Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson joining the royal party.

Other royal figures to attend the service included the King’s sister Princess Anne, Prince Andrew’s daughters Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.

The Times of London reported that the group attended Easter Matins in the 15th-century St George’s Chapel in Berkshire. This has been the venue of many royal weddings in the past, including that of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2017.

The newspaper reports that King Charles continues to receive regular medical treatment, having last year announced he had been diagnosed with cancer. Last week, he joked with crowds outside Durham Cathedral in the north of England that his healthy appearance was “all smoke and mirrors.”

Charles and Camilla recently celebrated their 20^th wedding anniversary, and Camilla told reporters it was the King’s work that kept him going, as he continued to recover from illness. The royal couple are expected to host French president Macron on a state visit to London next month. US president Donald Trump has also intimated he may visit the UK in September.

The King’s brother Prince Andrew continues to join his family for select royal events, despite incurring more controversy being named as an associate of an alleged Chinese spy. He withdrew from public life in 2019, following his notorious interview with the BBC when he attempted to explain away his longtime association with convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
