Easter is upon us! For many, Easter is marked by copious chocolate eggs, but you may be wondering what the celebrations look like when you are a royal.
For British royals, the holiday is marked with an annual church service at St George's Chapel in Windsor. The extended family members gather to celebrate with mass, as they have done for generations.
Meanwhile, for other royals across Europe, their celebrations aren't so set in stone, and over the years, we have had many an adorable snap from royals across the globe celebrating the special day in their own way, from Easter Egg hunts to church outings to painting eggs.
Who can forget when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle documented setting up an Easter Egg hunt for their son Prince Archie in Montecito? See the video below.
