Prince William's wholesome return to work at youth club after Easter break
William had an untraditional break!Prince William has said goodbye to the Easter holidays as he returned to work at a youth club following his untraditional break.
Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are all back to school, meaning the Easter break is officially over for their parents. Now, Prince William made his first royal engagement earlier today (April 24).
His return to work comes as he and Kate opted to not attend the Easter service this year – despite Kate missing it last year for her cancer treatment. Instead they had a quieter time with their children.
Prince William returns to work following Easter break
The 42-year-old prince went to visit an organisation that mentors young people in inner London today.
It’s believes that each week around 400 young people attend programs and youth clubs ran by the organisation, Mentivity. Their aim is provide the youth services and safe spaces for young people in the area to thrive.
William had a packed day, which he began by sitting down with the founders to hear the story of how the organisation came to be.
He then went and got a first-hand experience with some of the young people, taking part in the activities with them. Then, he joined a roundtable chat hosted by entrepreneur Tim Campbell.
The discussions believed to centre on how much value an apprenticeship holds. They also spoke about the barriers that young people face when accessing opportunities and how they can be helped.
The royal was all smiles as he attended the day of duties, and appeared to enjoy getting involved with the youngsters.
His first royal duty post-Easter comes as he and Kate decided not to attend the royal family Easter service. The move was unexpected as it is tradition for the family to go.
Why did Prince William and Kate skip Easter?
Last year, Kate missed the service as she was undergoing cancer treatment. And it seems this year the parents wanted to spend as much time with their kids after the difficult year.
During the break, Kate and William took their three children on a ski trip in the French Alps. And spent a lot of time in their country home Anmer Hall.
It was at that country home they are believed to have hosted their own Easter celebrations. Their guest list included Kate’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton.
While they may have missed the public service, the couple still took their children to a quieter service at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham.
A crowd of well-wishers gathered hoping to speak or just catch a glimpse of the royals. But unfortunately for them, they chose to leave through a back entrance.
But that wasn’t the only Easter celebrations the kids had, as Prince George accompanied his dad to the Aston Villa football match in Paris. And despite their loss – both of them seemed to have a lot of fun.
