King Charles and Queen Camilla Kick-Start Easter With Their First Ever Royal Maundy Service

King Charles and Queen Camilla have never been any busier than they have been in
the last few months. The monarch soon ascended to the throne right after Queen
Elizabeth’s sad demise in September last year. Ever since, the King along with
his wife has taken on the royal duties onto his shoulders. After their first
ever Royal debut overseas in Germany, the royal pair has now continued its
obligations towards the monarchy by carrying forward the native traditions, like
the Maundy Service.

It’s Easter time and as a matter of course, the English landed aristocracy will
not be missing out on the same. Despite the royal rota, King Charles and Queen
Camilla have got their schedule lined up for royal engagements and public
appearances. Owing to the Easter weekend

As is the custom, the previous monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, used to distribute
special coins called the “Maundy Money.” This was in respect to acknowledging
those over the age of 70. It is to those who have pledged their outstanding
support to Christianity and its communities. The Very Reverend Dominic
Barrington and The Most Reverend and Right Honorable Stephen Cottrell,
Archbishop of York, welcomed Their Majesties for the service. Queen Camilla was
greeted by a beautiful yet traditional nosegay bouquet.

As reported by the royal family website
[https://www.royal.uk/royal-maundy-service], Maundy Thursdays mark n auspicious
day for Christians. The Monarch distributes special Maundy money to local

Paying an ode to both their ages, they gave away the maundy money to thank the
74 women and 75 Men. It is apparently a way of expressing gratitude for their
community contributions. The same group of people is selected from distant
lands. Starting from Texas and Angelica, various different churches for the
Monarchy. Taking to their official Instagram handle, York Minster expressed that
it was much of a blessing and opportunity.

of 74, is all white with specially minted coins. Meanwhile, the red contains two
commemorative coins, a tribute to the monarch’s traditional gift of food and
