Overview
- Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie joined the Christmas Day walk to St Mary Magdalene without their parents, who were absent following sanctions linked to Prince Andrew’s Epstein-related controversy.
- A TikTok posted by attendee Karen Anvil showed Beatrice thanking well‑wishers; the poster said the princess appeared anxious yet received warm support with no boos or hostile comments.
- Body‑language analyst Judi James said the outing looked planned to convey protection, noting Eugenie walking directly behind King Charles with Prince Edward alongside as a visible escort.
- James also highlighted Mike Tindall’s post‑service role as a “smile prompter” and brief self‑soothing gestures from Beatrice, interpreting these as signs of pressure during the high‑profile moment.
- Media reports say King Charles has stripped Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson of titles and barred them from family gatherings, while coverage stresses Beatrice and Eugenie are not implicated and are being treated separately.
