Kate Middleton, Prince William and Kids to Skip Royal Easter Outing Again in Surprise Move

TLDR:

* Although [King Charles](https://people.com/tag/prince-charles/), [Queen Camilla](https://people.com/tag/camilla-duchess-of-cornwall/) and other members of the royal family are set to attend the Easter Matins Service at Windsor Castle on Sunday, April 20, the Prince and Princess of Wales won’t be among them. Instead, Prince William and Princess Kate will spend the weekend with their children at their country home in Norfolk.
* Kate and William were regulars at the gathering throughout the years, but they [skipped last year’s outing](https://people.com/kate-middleton-and-prince-william-s-family-skips-easter-outing-with-royals-amid-her-cancer-treatment-8621153) amid Princess Kate’s cancer news, which was announced just weeks before, and spent the holiday privately. In January, the Princess of Wales announced her [cancer was in remission](https://people.com/kate-middleton-is-in-remission-from-cancer-8774292).
* Prince William, 42, and Princess Kate, 43, [last attended Easter with the royal family in 2023](https://people.com/royals/kate-middleton-prince-william-easter-church-outing-children-prince-george-princess-charlotte-prince-louis/), when Prince Louis, now 6, [joined them for the first time](https://people.com/royals/prince-louis-royal-easter-debut-best-photos-prince-george-princess-charlotte/). (Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, 9, made their [royal Easter debut](https://people.com/royals/prince-george-princess-charlotte-royal-easter-debut/) the previous year together.)

More like “to the surprise of no one”… Willy hates his job.
