Princess Beatrice and her husband, Eduardo Mapelli Mozzi, also attended, as did her sister Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, as well as Zara and Mike Tindall and their two daughters, Mia and Lena.

This is the first Easter Sunday service since Queen Elizabeth II’s death, with the 15th-century chapel also being her final resting place.

The late Queen is buried in the church’s tiny King George VI Memorial Chapel alongside her husband, the late Duke of Edinburgh, and her parents, George VI and the Queen Mother.
