Beatrice and Eugenie skip royal Easter service amid Epstein fallout
Beatrice and Eugenie won't attend the Easter church service at Windsor, choosing alternative plans as Epstein fallout headlines swirl.
Beatrice and Eugenie, the King’s nieces, will miss the royal Easter service at Windsor Castle this year, opting for alternative plans instead. The decision comes amid ongoing Epstein fallout surrounding their parents, a backdrop that has kept discussions focused on the broader royal family rather than the church pews.
The sisters did join the royal family for Christmas at Sandringham in December, marking their participation in a major family gathering earlier in the year. Palace officials have offered no detailed statement about the Easter plans beyond noting the change, and royal watchers are reading the move as a personal scheduling choice rather than a formal disavowal of royal duties.
This development highlights how public and private family matters can intersect for the royals, especially during high-profile holiday periods. Beatrice and Eugenie have long maintained a lower public profile, choosing a measured approach to engagements while remaining part of the family narrative during significant moments.
