Overview
- Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie attended the Christmas Day walk and church service at Sandringham with their husbands, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and Jack Brooksbank.
- Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson did not attend the Sandringham events, with UK outlets reporting they were not invited.
- Andrew was photographed driving out of Royal Lodge and is reported to be expected to vacate the Windsor residence in the coming weeks.
- Royal analysts describe the King's guest lists, including the recent pre‑Christmas Buckingham Palace lunch, as curated to show support for the nieces while excluding their father.
- This public repositioning follows Andrew being stripped of royal styles and honours in October after renewed scrutiny of his Epstein ties, including publication of a 2011 email.
