A Look at King Charles's Generosity, Staff Traditions, and Family Festivities

King Charles has consistently demonstrated his gratitude towards the individuals who maintain the royal residences. Grant Harrold, a former butler who served the King and Queen Camilla from 2004 to 2011, shared a story about a "sweet" gesture that unexpectedly led to a "disaster." He explained that despite the busy schedule during Easter, the King's staff were generously provided with Easter chocolate.

Harrold described working over Easter as a positive experience, recalling receiving Easter eggs from the King and Queen. However, he also mentioned a drawback, stating that it was detrimental to his weight. He recounted a specific instance where the King wrote him a thank-you note for spending Easter with them, including Cadbury's mini eggs in the envelope. Upon opening the envelope, the sweets spilled out.

Harrold also shared a humorous anecdote about gifting King Charles a "wind-up chicken." He wound it up, and it proceeded to run across the table between the King and Queen. Their Majesties are scheduled to attend the Easter Sunday church service at St. George's Chapel in Windsor.

While the attendance of the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children remains uncertain, the palace has confirmed that the King and Queen will be accompanied by other members of the Royal Family. Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are currently on a month-long break from Lambrook School in Berkshire.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are likely occupied with planning their Easter celebrations with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, at their home in Montecito, California. The Sussexes previously shared a glimpse of a Peter Rabbit-themed egg hunt they organized for Archie in their garden in 2021, when Meghan was pregnant with Lilibet. Meghan Markle recently shared her Easter shopping selections on Instagram, featuring items such as a child-sized gardening set, carrot-shaped sweets, and a croissant-shaped toy.
