Overview
- Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie joined the Royal Family for the Christmas Day service at St Mary Magdalene in Sandringham, while their parents stayed out of public view.
- Royal fan Karen Anvil said people in the queues expressed relief to see the sisters, and her viral clip captured a well‑wisher telling Beatrice, “I’m so glad you came,” to which she replied, “Oh, that’s very kind, thank you.”
- Reports cited by Geo News said King Charles personally approved the sisters’ invitations, framing their presence as a deliberate choice by the Palace.
- Body‑language analyst Judi James described the walk as carefully choreographed and suggested Prince Edward acted as a supportive “airbag” beside the York sisters.
- Observers noted a contrast in demeanour, with Eugenie engaging more confidently as Beatrice kept a lower profile, while Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi appeared unusually alert before relaxing after the service.
