Princess Eugenie arrives at St George’s Chapel along with other members of the Royal Family for the annual Easter Sunday service – as she and her mother Sarah Ferguson match in Chanel-inspired looks

As many members of the Royal Family arrive at Windsor for the traditional Easter Sunday service at St George’s Chapel, it’s hard not to spot Princess Eugenie as she dons an all-white ensemble that is very reminiscent of iconic Meghan Markle looks, most notably her engagement look. The Parisian-esque ensemble is eye-catching as Eugenie looks radiant in the spring sunshine, standing beside her mother, Fergie, who emulates the same classic Chanel style in a black and white outfit.

For those keen to copy Eugenie’s Chanel-inspired look, we believe she’s wearing Reiss’ Double Breasted Belted Trench Coat in White, which would normally retail for the relatively affordable (for a royal) £338; however, this enviable coat is currently out of stock everywhere. But don’t fret—we’ve found plenty of alternatives to mimic Eugenie’s Easter ensemble and match the mother-daughter Chanel vibes to a tee.

Eugenie’s trench coat boasts a Parisian chic style. Standing beside her mother, Fergie (who looks to be wearing a sold-out Veronica Beard Darla Leaf Jacquard Jacket), Eugenie inspires visions of iconic Chanel aesthetics in an understated, luxury look.

Though you can’t get your hands on Eugenie’s exact coat, it doesn’t mean you can’t copy her classic Chanel style; what’s more, you won’t even need a royal budget.

One top pick we’ve found to emulate Eugenie’s Easter outfit is this Linnie Lightweight Trench Coat from All Saints, miming Eugenie’s attire without weighing you down as temperatures continue to rise this spring.

This lightweight layer is crafted from a fluid fabric and shaped to create a relaxed fit with a self-tie waist belt, copying Eugenie’s Reiss coat without the heavy material. With the waist-tie that ensures a flattering, figure-hugging waistline, this longline coat boasts the same minimalism colour and subtly structured silhouette that can seamlessly be dressed up or down for that dash of royal opulence in your everyday style.

This coat also features topstitching on the cuffs and belt, adding a chic and stylish twist to your next spring staple outerwear. It is currently available in three colours and sizes, XS to L, and costs £299.

The King and Queen have led the Royal Family at the annual Easter Sunday church service, with the Prince and Princess of Wales skipping the event. Charles and Camilla were joined by Princess Anne and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh as they made their way to St George’s Chapel in Windsor for the traditional ceremony.

Sisters Eugenie and Beatrice arrived with their spouses, as well as their mother, Fergie and Prince Andrew, who made a surprise appearance. Andrew and Fergie missed the royals’ Christmas celebrations at Sandringham after the disgraced Duke of York stepped away following his involvement in a recent scandal involving an alleged Chinese spy.

Retailing for £240, this coat doesn’t match Eugenie’s identity. However, it still offers plenty of chic Parisian vibes that transcend seasonal trends for a timelessly classic look, no matter the time or place.

For those with larger budgets, Selfridges has an alternative: this Theory Oaklane tie-belt regular-fit crepe coat for £595. Alternatively, head to Flannels to check out this Mackage Ceyla Belted Trench Coat for £579.

The Prince and Princess of Wales were missing from the Royal Family’s traditional Easter Sunday service at Windsor Castle – and it seems they weren’t the only members of the Firm to skip the service

The Prince and Princess of Wales skipped the Royal Family’s traditional Easter Sunday church service today – and they weren’t the only royals missing. King Charles and Queen Camilla led the family for the annual service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor.

The Mirror revealed last week that the Prince of Wales told the King of his intention to miss the annual gathering to “enjoy some extended time as a family over Easter”, a source said. Therefore attending the service today were Princess Anne and her husband Sir Timothy Laurence as well as the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Prince Edward and Sophie.

Making a surprise appearance was Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. Also attending the service was the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh’s son James – the Earl of Wessex, Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank and Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

However, several other key members of the family were missing. One royal absent today was Lady Louise Windsor, the eldest daughter of Sophie and Edward, who is currently in her third year at St Andrews University. Also missing was the King’s other niece Zara Tindall, her husband Mike and their three children Mia, Lena and Lucas. Her older brother Peter Phillips also did not attend with his two daughters Savannah and Isla.

The Waleses did not attend the service last year as it was only weeks after Kate was diagnosed with cancer. William and Kate recently returned from a skiing holiday with their three children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine and Prince Louis, six. The family enjoyed a week in the French Alps with pictures of their family break appearing in a French magazine, prompting the wrath of Kensington Palace.

The family in February enjoyed a half term break on the exclusive island of Mustique in the Caribbean, while William and Kate also separately jetted off on a skiing holiday at the end of December, again in France, with Kate’s brother James and his wife, Alizée. It has been an extraordinary year for the monarchy after both the King and his daughter-in-law Kate were diagnosed with cancer within days of each other.

The future queen underwent six months of preventative chemotherapy, later speaking in September of her relief on finishing her course of treatment. In an emotional video, featuring husband William, their three children and her parents, Kate, 43, said the year had been “incredibly tough” and “that life as you know it can change in an instant”.

Meanwhile, last week, the Queen paid tribute to the King’s sense of duty saying he “loves his work” and wants to do “more and more and more” as he gets better. Camilla said Charles, 76, who is receiving ongoing treatment for cancer, was ‘driven’ by helping others and indicated his cancer journey was one of ‘recovery’.

Last month, the King experienced temporary side effects following treatment at the London Clinic, which required a short period of hospital observation that day. Charles’s Easter Sunday appearance last year was his first major public one following his cancer diagnosis. He was applauded by the crowds as he greeted well-wishers who urged him to ‘keep going strong’.

At the start of the Easter weekend, the King thanked a wellwisher who told him he looked in good health, joking: “You are very kind, it’s all mirrors. ” It came as Charles was joined by the Queen for the traditional Maundy Thursday service at Durham Cathedral, a key date in the royal calendar. He gave Maundy money to 76 men and 76 women – one for every year of his age – in thanks for their Christian service to their communities.

TOWIE star Junaid Ahmed has revealed there have been times he has ‘cried himself to sleep’ when the show’s cameras stop rolling, but lauds partner Joe Blackman as his ‘rock’.

TOWIE star Junaid Ahmed has admitted he ‘cries himself to sleep’ when the cameras stop rolling, admitting it’s not always easy to go through tough times in the limelight of the show.

In an exclusive chat with Mirror, Junaid explains that his boyfriend, Joe Blackman, has become a strong source of support off-screen as well as on the show. “Joe’s been my rock. Our whole relationship’s been played out on camera.

The very first time we met was on camera. So when filming wraps, Joe’s my support system. I’m the type of person who puts up a wall and pretends I’m OK, but then I get home and cry myself to sleep,” said Junaid.

He continues, “We both have such pure hearts, and not everyone gets to see that side of us, which is fair enough. “

Junaid and Joe met back in 2023 when the latter was introduced to the TOWIE group by then-boyfriend Harry Derbidge, who at the time was close friends with Junaid. However, when their relationship ended last year, Joe and Junaid then revealed they had grown close and began a romance.

Now, Junaid says they couldn’t be stronger, and shares that everything has fallen into the place in perfect time.

“But we’re each other’s support system. That’s why we’re so strong together – we’re best friends as well as partners.

“This is actually my first relationship, and I always tell him, ‘You’re my first and my last. I don’t need anyone else. ’ I’m a massive believer that things happen at the right time. I turned 30, and everything started going in my favour – business, career, love. “

Junaid even says that he and Joe are so strong, they’re gearing up to buy their dream home together. “Here’s an exclusive – me and Joe are looking to buy our first house together this year. A million-pound mansion in Chigwell, babe! People said we wouldn’t last, but look at us now,” he laughs.

The reality star also says things are going well for him business wise, as he has a new jewellery collection with brand April Star out.

“I’ve got a jewellery line, my biggest brand deal to date. Five figures – I’m over the moon! I’m becoming the face of April Star Jewellery and we launched my own 10-piece collection last month. Their pieces completely resonate with me – evil eye necklaces, bracelets, earrings and anklets. I’m a spiritual person, so for me, it’s about keeping negative energy away.

“The evil eye is something I grew up with – my mum used to tell me about it. It’s a massive part of who I am. The idea was to wear it while filming so I’d avoid drama. Though that hasn’t always worked! “

Margot Robbie was seen at a beach with her husband Tom Ackerley and a pal over the Easter weekend, with photos from the trip showing a tribute to the Barbie star’s baby

Actor Margot Robbie was seen soaking up the sun whilst at a beach this week. Photos of her enjoying the Easter weekend during the outing show a subtle tribute to her baby.

Margot, 34, is thought to have given birth to her now six-month-old baby in October last year. There had been much speculation about her rumoured pregnancy in the months prior to the reports that the acclaimed actor had welcomed her first child with her husband Tom Ackerley, also 34.

Now, almost seven months on, the Barbie star was spotted enjoying a trip to a beach whilst in Australia over the long weekend. Margot was joined by collaborator Tom and a pal, who joined her in the water, on the Gold Coast.

Photos show Margot wearing a pale purple bikini at the beach. She’s seen sporting the high-waisted swimwear in the water, where she talked to her companion. And one photo shows the Oscar nominee swimming off the coast.

She was seen with her arms out in front of her amid a wave coming from behind her in the photo of her swimming. The water appeared to reach just below her neck in it and, like in the other recent photos, Margot sported wet hair.

Margot – who is set to star in an adaptation of the novel Wuthering Heights – was also photographed back on land. She was seen in an area that appeared to have loungers, with her husband seemingly relaxing on one at one point.

She accessorised with an apparent tribute to her baby, with her seen wearing a gold necklace that read “mama”. It was among the jewellery that she sported whilst at the coast, with her also spotted wearing a selection of gold rings.

Tom was also pictured at the beach. One photo shows the producer – who’s worked with Margot on films like Saltburn (2023) – shirtless in a pair of blue shorts. He accompanied them with a gold chain around his neck and dark sunglasses.

Some of Tom’s tattoos were on display whilst he was at the beach with his wife, whom he married back in 2016. The inkings include a tattoo of a rose and other floral designs.

Another photo appears to show Margot walking beside Tom, who was cradling their baby, whilst on the Gold Coast recently. The couple are both seen wearing sunglasses as they took a stroll together whilst in clothing for the summer.

Margot wore a black top and a pair of red shorts during the family’s outing. The actor – whose credits include films like Suicide Squad (2016) and I, Tonya (2017) – was seen carrying a coffee cup, like her husband, in the photo of them.

Tom – who like his wife is a film producer – is pictured wearing a dark top and a pair of blue shorts on the beach. He appears to be holding their child – who was underneath a blanket – in a baby carrier.
