She will lead a traditional pre-Easter ceremony.
On Monday, Worcester Cathedral announced via X that the queen will attend the church’s Maundy Thursday services on March 28, and will distribute the traditional Maundy Gifts on Charles’s behalf. “We are SO excited to announce that we will be welcoming Her Majesty The Queen to the Cathedral on Maundy Thursday as we host the Royal Maundy service,” the post reads, alongside a photo of the church and some of the gifts, a collection of coins that Camilla is set to distribute.
The traditional service, according to the Royal Family’s official website, dates back to 600 AD, with the monarch distributing gifts to parishioners in a parallel of Jesus washing the feet of the Apostles at the last supper. In modern days, the monarch distributes coins equal to the number of years they’ve lived; Camilla will gift 75 men and 75 women with the coins in commemoration of Charles’s 75 years of life so far. Each recipient will be handed two purses, one red and one white.
