London: On Sunday, the first day of the new monarch's reign, King Charles and senior British royals gathered at Windsor Castle for their customary Easter service.
Charles was accompanied on his walk from the castle to the nearby St. George's Chapel by his wife Camilla, the queen consort, and his extended family, which included his son and heir Prince William, his wife Kate, and their three children.

Prince Andrew, the king's younger brother, who was relieved of his royal duties after agreeing to a US sex abuse lawsuit last year, was also present.

Being the first since the passing of Queen Elizabeth and taking place on the same day that her husband Prince Philip passed away two years ago, the occasion, one of the few occasions that brings all the royals together in public, is particularly poignant this year. Both are interred in Windsor's King George VI chapel.
