The British royal family made a rare public appearance together on Sunday, attending an Easter service at Windsor Castle's St. George's Chapel. It marked their first joint outing since Prince Andrew's arrest in February.

King charles iii, queen camilla and heirs step out

King Charles III, 77, and his wife Queen Camilla, 75, arrived at the chapel, joined by their eldest son Prince William, 40, and his wife Catherine, 41, the Princess of Wales. Their three children - Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4 - also attended.

Prince William's younger brother Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, were conspicuously absent. The couple has been estranged from the rest of the family for some time.

Andrew's daughters skip service amid scandal

Prince Andrew's daughters, Princesses Beatrice, 34, and Eugenie, 32, were not in attendance, reportedly making alternative plans agreed upon by the King amid the fallout from their father's association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew, the King's younger brother, remains under investigation following his arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office, which he denies.

As the royal family gathered for the Easter service, King Charles is preparing for his first state visit to the United States as monarch, set to address a joint meeting of Congress later this month. This marks a significant moment in his reign.
