Royal Family Celebrates Easter Sunday at St George’s Chapel in Windsor
The Royal Family gathered this morning for a traditional Easter Sunday service at St George's Chapel in Windsor.
This is the same chapel where Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will marry on May 19.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joined the Queen, dressed in a vibrant cerise ensemble, and a host of other royals for the Easter matins service.
However, the 96-year-old Duke of Edinburgh, who retired from public duty last year, did not attend the service.
Meghan and Harry also chose not to appear at the chapel where they'll tie the knot next month.
The Queen was joined by Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward, with Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Peter Phillips, and Zara Tindall all also in attendance for the seasonal service.

Zara showed off her blossoming bump in a blue bespoke Serafini coat and headband.
Jane Taylor chatted with Princess Beatrice, her sister Eugenie, and husband-to-be Jack Brooksbank at the chapel's entrance.
Hundreds of well-wishers lined the entrance to the Windsor Castle estate hoping for a glimpse of the royals on their annual spring outing.
Kate, 36, who was due to give birth to her third child in London in a matter of weeks, looked comfortable and relaxed as she was greeted at the chapel with Prince William by her side.
The couple left their two children, George, four and Charlotte, two, at home.
Despite being eight months pregnant, the Duchess has yet to park her favorite heels and finished off her smart look with a pair of towering caramel-hued shoes and matching clutch purse.
While the Queen attended the event without Prince Philip, it is not thought this absence is due to a serious health problem.
The Duke was spotted driving around the grounds of the Windsor estate last week, and Kate wasn't the only one showing off her bump.
Zara Tindall looked radiant in bright blue, with her ever-blossoming bump clearly on display.
Princess Anne, accompanied by husband Vice-Admirer Sir Timothy Lawrence, were among the first to make the journey down the hill to the religious venue.
Despite the inclement weather, the royals opted for spring color, with Princess Anne sporting a coordinated turquoise-blue number.
Meanwhile, Princess Eugenie mirrored her grandmother's pink, with a cerise hat.
Sophie Wessex looked chic in a navy wrap-around coat and dramatic fascinator as she walked alongside Lady Louise Windsor, who opted for an aubergine-colored ensemble.
At the chapel's entrance, Sophie appeared to comfort her distressed-looking 10-year-old son James, Viscount Severn.
The royal tenderly stroked his cheek as the family prepared to enter the service.
The Queen, who celebrates her 92nd birthday later this month, led her family into the chapel, being offered a salute by an attending police officer.
Meanwhile, the wedding of the year continues to take shape.
It was officially announced this morning by Kensington Palace that Philippocratic has been chosen to decorate the chapel on Harry and Meghan's big day next month.
The floral designer, who started her business nine years ago, has a list of high-profile clients, including British Vogue, Hampton Court Palace, and the V&A.
She has also provided her services for Kensington Palace before, and the flowers and plants will be locally sourced, with many coming from the gardens and parkland of the Crown Estate and Windsor Great Park.
