Will We See the Cambridges for Easter? Black.co.uk Exclusive Easter Discount!
Happy (almost) Easter weekend!Will we see the Cambridges on Easter Sunday? That is the question a number of you have asked me over the past week or so. I thought it might be fun to take a look at how they've spent the occasion in previous years and to observe their patterns. It's actually a very private time for them and apart from once during a royal tour we haven't seen them on Easter. Looking back to 2011, when Easter Sunday fell just a few days before the royal wedding, it was such an exciting time. For royal fans and monarchists it was arguably the most delightful time in terms of royal watching for years. I can distinctly recall following every single news article with immense interest and seeing the various photos from the wedding rehearsals, to activities at the Middleton home and photos of Kate out shopping in London days before the big event.
With all the bustle and last minute preparations, William and Kate stepped away to enjoy Easter with the Middletons in Bucklebury. William was seen being driven to the Middletons' home and he joined the family for church in Berkshire before returning to the house for a traditional lunch. It was an early choice which signalled the couple's decision to alternate holidays between the Middletons and the Royal family, something we've seen particularly during Christmas.
After that, it was back to London. One photo which really captures the buzz around the wedding is this one of Kate receiving an outfit/dress from a lady in blue (perhaps someone can enlighten me if the lady in the photo was ever identified. I seem to recall various suggestions it was Sarah Burton, Alice Temperley or a staff member). It captures a lovely moment of Kate obviously receiving a warm embrace and good wishes ahead of the day - and she looked every inch the elated bride-to-be.
In 2012, the Cambridges spent Easter in Scotland with the Royal family. They were spotted arriving at Crathie Kirk for Sunday service with Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall. A Royal aide said: "It was a beautiful service. Afterwards, they were back at Balmoral for Sunday lunch." An onlooker grabbed a quick (albeit tiny) snap of the royals leaving the service. Kate wore a plum coat.
The couple had just returned from a skiing holiday in Meribel in the 'Three Valleys Resort' with the Middletons. You may remember William had just returned from a six-week deployment in the Falklands.

In 2013, the couple enjoyed a quiet weekend in Anglesey (is it me or does it feel like forever since they lived in Wales?) where William worked as a RAF search and rescue pilot. The couple attended a local church service at St Cadwaladr's in Llangadwalad, a small village in Anglesey. The church is believed to have been a royal burial ground and one of its windows dates from the 12th century. After the service, they signed the visitors book.

2014 was by far the Cambridges' most public Easter to date. It fell during their tour of Australia and New Zealand. With nine-month-old George along for the trip and a varied itinerary, it was a fantastic and memorable tour, undoubtedly in my top three, along with Canada 2011 and India/Bhutan last year. That morning, William and Kate attended service at St Andrew's Cathedral in Sydney City Centre. Kate looked regal in a bespoke dove grey Alexander McQueen coat and a matching Jane Taylor hat.

Then it was time for a family afternoon at Taronga Zoo. It was so interesting to see boisterous George in action and meeting a bilby. William turned to Kate and said: "He's trying to grab his ear." To which Kate replied: "If he gets it he'll never let go." It was absolutely the tour highlight. It's amazing how much he's grown since then, and now his little sister Charlotte is fast approaching her 2nd birthday!
Easter 2015 was a time full of anticipation for the Cambridges, who reportedly enjoyed a quiet day with the Middletons. One month after Easter Sunday, a very special surprise arrived when Kate gave birth to a daughter, Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana at St Mary's hospital.
Last year, Kate spent her first Easter as a mother of two at Bucklebury surrounded by the Middletons. A royal source told Hello!: "The Duchess of Cambridge will be spending the Easter weekend with her children." I imagine it was a special one as it was Charlotte's first Easter, and George, then almost three, was old enough to enjoy an egg hunt. Prince William spent the weekend in Kenya attending the wedding of Jecca Craig.
Having looked over the Cambridges' plans in recent years, I think it's not highly probable we'll see them. There isn't a set pattern in terms of how they celebrate although it's possible they'll opt to spend the day with the Royal family. The Queen and members of the Royal family will attend Sunday service at St George's chapel at Windsor Castle. It's also quite likely they'll spend the weekend in Bucklebury before returning to London where they have several engagements next week. If so, it will possibly be church followed by a family lunch and a little Easter egg hunt for George and Charlotte. And discussion around the table will be reminiscent of 2011 when a pending wedding was very much on everyone's minds. This time with Pippa's just weeks away, no doubt it will be the topic firmly on their minds!

There's a selection of beautiful silk scarves available: "Originating in Ancient Rome silk scarves were first made when the Silk Road opened from China. Considered the epitome of luxury, only the Emperor’s family was permitted to wear silk. Later it became an honour for upper class women to wear silk scarves. The rest, as they say, is history. Today pure silk scarves are the essence of chic and our collection features exquisitely crafted silk twill, silk chiffon and silk satin scarves made meticulously in France and Italy. The style and finish reflects this heritage." Below the Avis de Passage Italian Silk Square Scarf in rich tones of red, yellow, orange, blue and a butterfly centrepiece.

(Not forgetting our male readers) there are lovely Silk Italian Pocket Squares including the ' Parisian Romance' which pays homage to iconic French images: the Eiffel tower, the Parisian postage stamp, an elegant lady, the chanticleer rooster and a duelling pair.

Wishing you and your loved ones a very Happy Easter! X
