His appearance at the Easter service highlights his continued inclusion in select Royal Family events despite past controversies.

The Duke of York withdrew from public life in 2019 following his notorious BBC interview regarding his association with convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Despite stepping back from royal duties, Andrew continues to join his family on certain occasions.

His presence comes amid further controversy, having been named as an associate of an alleged Chinese spy.

The Easter service represents one of the few public royal gatherings where Prince Andrew maintains a visible presence alongside the King and other senior royals.

The gathering took place without the presence of Prince William and Princess Kate, who were absent from the royal Easter celebrations.

The service marks one of the key events in the royal calendar, bringing together several members of the family for the religious occasion.

Windsor Castle, just outside London, has long served as the setting for this annual royal tradition.

The royal gathering attended Easter Matins in the historic 15th-century St George's Chapel in Berkshire.

This chapel has been the venue for numerous royal weddings, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's ceremony in 2017.

The King's sister, Princess Anne, was among those present at the service.

Prince Andrew's daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, also joined the royal party for the Easter celebration.
