Prince Harry feels ‘keenly' that Archie and Lilibet are missing out on Easter tradition


Prince Harry will “keenly” feel Archie and Lilibet being left out of a key tradition the Royal Family enjoy each Easter.

Many families have their own special traditions at this time of year – and the Royal Family is no exception.

But Prince Harry, 39, and his wife Meghan Markle, 42, won’t be joining in on Easter fun with the rest of The Firm this year.

And it’s prompted one royal expert to say that this will be felt deeply by the Prince on behalf of his two young children Prince Archie, four, and Princess Lilibet, two.

Every year the family takes part in its own very special Easter egg hunt.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down from their senior roles within the Royal Family in 2020.

The couple then decided to move to Meghan’s home country of America and since the summer of the same year they have lived in Montecito, California.

Royal expert and author Tom Quinn has now revealed how Harry might be feeling to not be part of the Easter tradition and celebrations.

Mr Quinn said: “The Royal Family traditionally meet on Easter Sunday at Windsor for a service in St George’s Chapel, followed by a brief walkabout and then a very traditional lunch of roast lamb,” reports The Mirror.

He added: “Harry always enjoyed this tradition because he got to meet an adoring public for a short period.

“But what’s really going to upset Harry this year is that his children will miss out on the Easter egg hunt that takes place afterwards.”

The tradition dates back to Queen Victoria and Mr Quinn said it would’ve given Archie and Lillibet “a chance to get to know George, Charlotte and Louis” and that not taking part will mean “Harry will feel it keenly.”

Meanwhile, members of the Royal Family looked delighted to attend this year’s Easter Sunday church service at St George’s Chapel, Windsor.

It marks King Charles’s first major royal event since his cancer diagnosis was announced last month.

Fewer royals are in attendance to limit the number of people the King comes into contact with.

The Princess of Wales and her family will not be at the service.

Princess Kate shocked royal watchers worldwide when she announced she has been diagnosed with a type of cancer following her “major” abdominal surgery back in January.
