King Charles projected a carefully curated image of unity at Windsor on Easter Sunday, leading a closely knit group of senior royals into St. George's Chapel while Prince Harry and Prince Andrew remained conspicuously absent. The public display by King Charles, who is undergoing cancer treatment, has been interpreted by royal watchers as a quiet but pointed message to both men about who now counts as part of the working royal family.
Tensions within the House of Windsor have been building for years. Prince Andrew was forced out of frontline royal life following public outrage over his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and was later evicted from his 30-room grace-and-favour home in Windsor.
