Overview
- Guests were photographed arriving at the Chapel Royal on Friday, with images and reports noting the presence of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Sarah Ferguson, Princess Eugenie, Jack Brooksbank, and singer James Blunt.
- Andrew and Ferguson made their first appearance at a royal venue since losing titles in October over coverage of Andrew’s links to Jeffrey Epstein, according to the outlets.
- Andrew was reported to have entered via a side gate to avoid cameras, with only vehicles photographed, and Ferguson was seen keeping a low profile in a tinted minivan.
- Multiple reports say official baptism photographs will exclude Andrew and that cameras were restricted at the entrances, reflecting efforts to manage exposure.
- Coverage also cites unnamed sources describing a strained relationship between Beatrice and her father and suggesting pre-event family discussions to avoid complications, with no palace confirmation.
