Palace buzzes over royal couple's surprise Easter absence: 'This is a big deal'
- Replies 19
The royal family's Easter traditions are well known for their history and public celebrations.
This year, however, a notable absence raised eyebrows as a prominent couple chose to skip the usual service in favour of private family time.
The decision has sparked speculation among palace insiders.
According to a source speaking to Us Weekly, the absence of the Cambridges from the Easter service was not taken lightly within the palace walls.
'This is a big deal,' the source said.
'It's royal tradition for the family to attend this together. Everyone understood the family not attending last year when Kate was sick, but there’s been a lot of raised eyebrows at the palace about William’s decision to skip again this year. It feels like a deliberate move and even a snub.'
The couple reportedly spent their Easter weekend in Norfolk, a decision described as a way to cherish the time before their children returned to school.
While some may view this as a simple preference for family intimacy over public duty, others within royal circles are interpreting it as a pointed message, a deliberate distancing from royal protocol.
The speculation around Prince William's intentions comes at a time when the Duke and Duchess have been reported to focus on strengthening their family bond and spending quality time together.
Another source told The Sun about the couple's commitment to each other, especially in light of Kate's recent health struggles.
'William has been incredibly supportive through Kate’s cancer battle—he’s really proven himself to be a remarkable partner when the going gets tough. His big focus has been on making the most of their time and this second chance at life together.'
The couple's plans for the future seem to be centered around creating more personal moments, with romantic dinners, long walks, and holidays.
They are even considering a return to the Seychelles, where they honeymooned, for a romantic getaway just for the two of them.
While the palace may be abuzz with whispers of a snub, it's essential to consider the pressures of being in the public eye and the need for balance between public duty and private life.
The Cambridges' decision to prioritise family time during Easter could be seen as a modern approach to royal life that values personal well-being and responsibilities.
As the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge continue to navigate their roles within the royal family, it's clear that they are also carving out their path, one that respects tradition but also acknowledges the importance of family and personal time.
Whether this move was a deliberate statement or simply a personal choice, it highlights the ongoing conversation about the role of the modern monarchy and the expectations placed upon its members.
