This will be the first Easter weekend that the royals will have celebrated since the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Traditionally the Queen would spend the holiday period with her family at Windsor castle.
But this weekend will also come with an added difficulty as Easter Sunday will mark the second anniversary since the death of Prince Philip.

The family will no doubt congregate at Windsor again this year to enjoy some quality time together as King Charles and Camila lead the festivities whilst also reminiscing about both the Queen and Prince Philip, the Daily Record reports.
There will be some changes brought by King Charles to the usual traditions which we will take a look at below.
Good Friday tradition
Of course Good Friday took place yesterday and marked the start of the Easter celebration for the royals.
Like most of us, they take part in the usual customs of chowing down on some hot cross buns and tucking into a fish dinner.
Former royal chef Darren McGrady told OK!: "Easter Court was alive and buzzing when the whole family came to Windsor in those days.
"We were busy making Hot Cross Buns for breakfast on Good Friday and the kitchens were full of hustle and bustle."
According to Darren, the fish served up for Good Friday is hake.
Chocolate treats
Now it wouldn’t be Easter without the overindulgence of chocolate - and it is not different for the youngsters within the royal family.
Darren says that he can recall one year when a cheeky young Prince William left a mark on younger cousins Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugine by performing a terrifying prank.
He decided to make a Hickory Dickory Dock nursery rhyme-themed chocolate egg and sent it up to the nursery.
He explained: "It had a clock on the top striking one and a sugared mouse peeking out of a mousehole.
"We sent it up to the nursery on the silver tray, but 15 minutes later the Footman brought it back.
"He said, 'Nanny asked me to return this. Prince William has just stood on a chair and bitten the mouse’s head off, frightening Beatrice and Eugenie.'"
Kate's new job
It would not be Easter without an Easter egg hunt and according to royal expert Ingrid Stewart, the kids will be taking part in the event organised by the Princess of Wales this year.
She told the Sun: "Kate is a great organiser and will almost certainly organise an Easter egg hunt – the children can also go to the royal mews and see the horses there and there is an indoor pool for swimming and ponies for them to ride."
Church outing
Easter is of course a time for religious celebrations and multiple members of the royal family will be spotted attending a service at St George’s Chapel on Sunday.
Back in 2022, William and Kate headed the royal entourage at the service where they brought their children along Prince George and Princess Charlotte for the first time.
Others that attended the service included the new Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Lady Louise Windsor, James the new Earl of Wessex as well as Mike and Zara Tindall with daughter Mia.
Now, this year, royal fans will be hoping to see Prince Louis, who made his church debut last Christmas at Sandringham.
Church is said to come after the royals enjoy a breakfast of eggs and exchange small Easter gifts.
Easter feast - with strict rule 'relaxed'
On their return from church, the royals then usually sit down to a hearty roast dinner - usually lamb.
But according to Ingrid, other menu items, which are all sourced for royal estates, could include venison, pheasant chicken, spring vegetables, new potatoes, carrots, salmon caught in the River Dee and roast ham.
However, it could be that Charles has relaxed a strict rule on dining that his late mother used to insist on - and it would have affected Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
The royal biographer and editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine told The Sun: "They will all have dinner together but not the young children they will eat in the nursery dining room.
"The Queen always said until they could hold a knife and fork properly they could not eat at the table, but Charles might have relaxed that rule a bit. But dinner is only for grown-ups."
