Prince Harry and Meghan Markle didn't celebrate Easter with the Queen. Can you guess why?
The soon-to-be-married couple was missing during the Royal Family’s traditional Easter Sunday service. A royal source shared the reason why.
It has always been an annual thing during Easter that the Queen is joined by her family for a special church service.
With Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding being around the corner, many have expected them to make an appearance. Although, they were noticeably absent at the time.
According to royal sources, the couple may have spent the holiday together in private away from the cameras and the public eye.
Prince Harry and Meghan have been quite busy during these past few months. They have been traveling throughout the United Kingdom because of their various royal engagements.
On top of that, they also have their hands full with the preparations for their wedding.
Hello Magazine suggested that a little downtime is deserved by the couple, who are set to exchange vows on May 19, 2018, at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor.
As for the other members of the Royal Family, most of them were present during the church service.
Prince William and Kate Middleton arrived last since they were stuck in traffic after they came from a long trip because they visited Middleton’s family over the holiday.
At the time, Middleton was heavily pregnant. She recently gave birth to her and Prince William’s third child, Prince Louis Arthur Charles.
Prince Edward and the Countess of Wessex were also in attendance during the service. They were accompanied by their children, Lady Louise Windsor and James, Viscount Severn.
The Queen’s other grandchildren, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, were also there.
Prince Philip was also notably absent since he was resting than in preparation for his major hip surgery.
After the church service, the Queen stopped in front of a few children who also attended the service. The sweet girls gave Her Majesty a bouquet of flowers.
