Beatrice and Eugenie Join Royals for Sandringham Christmas Service as Andrew Stays Away

The sisters' presence underscores carefully managed family optics following renewed scrutiny of Andrew in recent U.S. court filings.

Overview

  • Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie walked to St. Mary Magdalene Church with King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Princess Kate, Prince William and their children for the traditional Sandringham service.
  • Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson were not invited to the Christmas celebrations because of his connection to the Jeffrey Epstein case.
  • Andrew has been stripped of his titles and honors and now uses the name Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
  • Beatrice and Eugenie have retained their royal titles despite their father's loss of honors.
  • Newly released U.S. court documents featured Andrew, including a photo reported to have been taken on the Sandringham estate, while a Christmas Eve video of Princess Kate playing piano with Princess Charlotte drew wide attention.
