The Queen Drops Out Of Annual Easter Tradition As Prince Charles And Camilla Step In For The First Time

Queen Elizabeth will miss a pre-Easter tradition.

The palace announced Friday that the monarch, 95, will miss the Royal Maundy Service at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle on April 14. Taking place the Thursday ahead of Easter each year, the Queen distributes specially-minted coins known as Maundy money to recognize people over 70 years old for their service to their communities.
