Buckingham Palace releases statement ahead of key family gathering

King Charles' office delighted fans with memorable photos of key royal members ahead of the family's reunion for a special occasion.

The monarch and Queen Camilla are set to step out for Easter service, but before that, the Palace shared pictures from the past, celebrating an old tradition.

The royal spokesperson shared, "Ahead of tomorrow’s Royal Maundy service at St Asaph Cathedral, take a look back at the centuries‑old tradition.

"Dating back to 600AD, every year on the Thursday before Easter, the Sovereign presents Maundy Money to people who’ve made an outstanding contribution to their communities.

"Early in her reign, Queen Elizabeth II chose to take the Maundy Service around the UK, visiting a different cathedral or abbey each year in recognition of local communities across the country."

It has been reported that Prince William and Princess Kate may also attend the royal family's Easter service.

Concerns about heckling incidents have emerged as a significant aspect of the royal family's engagements, especially following the controversies involving Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
