Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are spending their Easter holidays at the family's sentimental country home in a break from tradition.
The Prince and Princess of Wales have travelled with their children to Norfolk for a “restful period” during the school holidays.
The couple are not joining the rest of the Royal Family at St George’s Chapel for the traditional Easter Sunday service.
Royal commentator, Richard Fitzwilliam, told GB News that the family “will be at their country home in Anmer hall and reportedly plan to have a restful period before the school holidays end in mid-April when William plans to return to royal duties.”

The family is spending their time at their historic Anmer Hall home in Norfolk to “close off from the world and move on.”
An aide said: “All he [William] wants to do is protect his wife and children.
“The family just want to go away for Easter, spend time together, the five of them, close off from the world and move on.”
The Prince and the Princess of Wales have spent time at their beloved country home on the Sandringham Estate for over a decade.

The three children broke up from school on Friday, 22 March – the same day as Princess Kate announced her cancer diagnosis.
The children will return for the summer term to Lambrook School in Berkshire on April 17.
The Princess of Wales also spent time recovering from her abdominal operation during the half-term break with their children at Anmer Hall.

William talked about the work that Prince Philip did on the Sandringham estate on the BBC’s Prince Philip: The Royal Family Remembers.
He said: “Everything that he's done has led up to Catherine and I feeling that this is a part of the country we want to be in. We love this area, it feels like home, and that's because of what he's created.”
The children may spend their holidays running freely in the wide open spaces surrounding their country home.

The princess has previously spoken about how she feels happiest when she is in the countryside and they are “all filthy dirty.”
In an interview with Happy Mum, Happy Baby in 2020, Kate said: “Someone did ask me the other day, what would you want your children to remember about their childhood?
“And I thought that was a really good question, because actually if you really think about that, is it that I’m sitting down trying to do their maths and spelling homework over the weekend?
“Or is it the fact that we’ve gone out and lit a bonfire and sat around trying to cook sausages that hasn’t worked because it’s too wet”
