James, the Earl of Wessex, son of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Edward and Sophie, has emerged from the shadows of British royalty in a rare public event.
Last Sunday, the young man, who rarely attends public events with his famous family, made an exception by accompanying the rest of the royal family to the traditional Easter service.
This day also marked the public reappearance of King Charles III. His presence had raised great expectations due to his battle with cancer.
Although the absence of the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children was also notable due to the announcement of Kate Middleton’s serious illness.
Charles III and Camilla arrived at St. George’s Church in Windsor in their limousine instead of walking. This would be one of the medical recommendations for the monarch to attend the service.
The cancer treatment the monarch is undergoing has limited his efforts.
Despite this, Carlos III was happy and animated. He did not hesitate to greet the hundreds of people gathered around the temple.
The affection and good wishes of the citizens accompanied him as he shook hands.
Many urged him to persevere in the face of adversity and wished him a speedy recovery.
However, his nephew, James, Earl of Wessex, stole some of the limelight.
James Earl of Wessex at the Easter service
James, Earl of Wessex, also had his moment at the Easter service and it was evident how much the young man has grown.
James, fifteenth in line to the throne, gained popularity for his appearance during the silent vigil of the eight grandchildren at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.
It was a historic image of James Mountbatten-Windsor, the least known of the late monarch’s grandchildren.
His parents always wanted him and his sister to have as normal a childhood as possible. As a result, James has stayed away from many official events.
Now, at 16, he reappeared on Easter Sunday and did not go unnoticed by royal fans.
His height impressed many, and social media were filled with comments about his growth.
James is already taller than his parents, whom he accompanied to the church along with Charles III and Camilla.
For the occasion, he chose an elegant navy blue suit, combined with a light blue tie and an immaculate white shirt.
Sophie of Edinburgh’s Easter Sunday Look
In terms of fashion, Sophie of Edinburgh’s look on Easter Sunday was also eye-catching.
Unlike other women in the royal family, Sophie opted for a different style.
While Queen Camilla, Princess Anne and Sarah Ferguson wore green tones, Sophie made her own style statement.
The Duchess wore a purple wool Prada coat with gold buttons, which she had worn before.
Her shoes, in nude tones, were also from the same luxury brand.
The handbag, with a snakeskin print to match the coat, was by Bally, an accessories company based in Switzerland.
He also wore an ivory beret, in keeping with protocol. His daughter, Lady Louise, did not attend the service for reasons unknown.
Thus, Easter Sunday gave us not only religious moments, but also a glimpse of royalty in all its diversity and elegance.
