Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, was notably absent from the annual Easter church service with the royal family this year as she continues her battle with cancer. Instead, Middleton, along with her husband Prince William and their three children, opted for a private holiday celebration at their residence in Norfolk.
The last time Middleton was seen in public was on Christmas morning in 2023. Her absence from the Easter service comes after she announced her cancer diagnosis in a video message on March 22. In the video, Middleton revealed that she is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
Meanwhile, King Charles III, who is also battling cancer, made his first major public appearance since his diagnosis at the Easter service alongside Queen Camilla. The royal couple was joined by Prince Andrew, Sarah Ferguson, Prince Edward, Duchess Sophie, and Princess Anne at the church service.
Middleton’s absence from the Easter service highlights her continued focus on her health as she undergoes treatment for cancer. Despite her absence, the royal family came together to celebrate the holiday and show support for one another during this difficult time.
