Easter Sunday is an important date in the calendar of any royal watcher.
Traditionally, the royal family step out in force to attend the Easter church service – and this year was no different.
King Charles and Queen Camilla headed up a group that included pregnant Princess Eugenie, the Tindalls, Princess Anne and the new Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.

Their decision to attend with little Prince Louis came as a surprise. At just four years old, the cheeky royal is far younger than both his siblings were when they made their Easter service debut in 2022.
At the time, Prince George was eight and Princess Charlotte was six when they attended the church service at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle.

Similarly, Mike and Zara Tindall's decision to bring their youngest daughter Lena, four, was unexpected. The couple did, however, leave their little boy, two-year-old Lucas at home.

While William and Kate have endeavoured to give their children as normal a childhood as possible, there is increased interest in the royal family ahead of the King's coronation next month.
Their decision to bring Louis along to the Easter service was perhaps a small step to help him get used to being in the spotlight ahead of the big event on 6 May.

A huge number of royal fans couldn't help but notice Louis' similarities to his grandfather, Michael Middleton. "Louis looks so much like Kate’s dad," wrote one fan, as another agreed: "Louis looks like Michael Middleton's double!"
"Prince Louis looks just like his grandfather, Michael Middleton!" chimed in a third, as a fourth echoed: "My goodness, he really is a mini Michael Middleton."
