Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie’s ‘alternative’ Easter plans without the royal family

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are making “alternative” plans for Easter Sunday, after it was revealed they won’t be attending the royals’ traditional service.  King Charles and Queen Camilla are confirmed for the church ceremony at St George’s Chapel in Windsor, with the Prince and Princess of Wales and other members of the royal family also expected to attend.  It’s likely that the Princesses, who have been lying low since the publication of Epstein files in January, will quietly be celebrating the day at home with their families, as HELLO! understands they are making “alternative” plans for Easter this year.  The two daughters of Sarah Ferguson and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor still have grace-and-favour homes – potential options for where they will be spending the day.  Beatrice, who is married to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, has her main home in the Cotswolds, but still has an apartment in St James’s Palace in London.
