Kate Middleton and Prince William's awkward Easter faux pas they might've repeated at the King's coronation

Kate and Prince William look at each other as they attend the traditional Easter Sunday church service at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle on April 21, 2019.

Easter is the only other time of year besides Christmas when we get to see a mass gathering of the Royal Family. Working and non-working royals alike come together at Windsor Castle and walk to St George’s Chapel for the Sunday service. It’s a private family occasion rather than an official appearance, meaning it’s relatively relaxed.

However, there are still certain protocols in place and William and Kate’s awkward faux pas in 2018 famously broke one of these. The couple were pictured arriving at the chapel and happily greeting the Dean of Windsor before going inside - but Queen Elizabeth was already there. It’s understood that the royals traditionally arrive at events in reverse order of rank with the most senior - the monarch - arriving last.
