The sweet royal tradition Prince George, Charlotte and Louis will be looking forward to

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are set to enjoy Easter with their royal relatives tomorrow. As well as attending a church service with other members of the Royal Family, the children will also join an Easter Sunday dinner at Windsor Castle afterwards. This is then set to be followed by an Easter tradition especially loved by the royal children.

While the Royal Family have not spoken about the event themselves, it is believed that every year an Easter egg hunt is held after the Easter Sunday lunch. This is a tradition believed to date back to Queen Victoria’s reign.

As reported by Tatler, Queen Victoria enjoyed hunting for painted eggs as a child and wrote in a letter in 1833 how her mother made some “painted and ornamented eggs” for the royal children to look for.

Victoria is then believed to have continued the tradition with her own children when she became Queen - something that her husband Prince Albert joined in with.

It is believed that the tradition of the Easter egg tradition is still continued to this day, with royal expert and author Tom Quinn once saying that it may be a tradition that Prince Harry misses out on now he is no longer a working royal.

As reported by The Mirror, Mr Quinn said last year : “The Royal Family traditionally meet on Easter Sunday at Windsor for a service in St George’s Chapel, followed by a brief walkabout and then a very traditional lunch of roast lamb.”

He continued: “Harry always enjoyed this tradition because he got to meet an adoring public for a short period.

“But what’s really going to upset Harry this year (2024) is that his children will miss out on the Easter egg hunt that takes place afterwards."
