The Princess of Wales joined her husband, Prince William, and their children, Prince George, 13, Princess Charlotte, ten, and Prince Louis, seven, at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, Berkshire, for an Easter service on Sunday.
As usual, Kate looked elegant in a belted Self-Portrait dress, styled with a matching hat, bag and heels, and executed a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it curtsy to King Charles as she and her family greeted the monarch at the entrance to the church.
As King Charles and Queen Camilla greeted the Dean of Windsor, The Right Reverend Christopher Cocksworth, at St George’s Chapel, Kate stood beside her husband and children, as well as James, Earl of Wessex, the son of Prince Edward and Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh.
Among the crowd watching Charles approach the entrance, Kate could be seen dropping into a curtsy, while Prince Edward nodded to his brother in a bow as the monarch greeted his family.
Royal Easter outing
Making their way into the church, Charles paused to affectionately tap his seven-year-old grandson Louis on the shoulder before leading the group inside.
William, Kate and their children followed, with Prince Edward, Princess Anne and her husband, Sir Timothy Laurence, entering shortly after.

Kate’s royal curtsies
Kate is known for perfecting the art of the royal curtsy and often performs the gesture at official engagements and events. Earlier in March, Kate and William welcomed the President of Nigeria and the First Lady for their state visit to the UK, where Kate once again performed a spot-on curtsy to the King, greeting her father-in-law with a “Morning!”
