Royal Family Marks Christmas at Sandringham With Beatrice and Eugenie Present, Andrew Absent

King Charles set a unity‑focused tone while keeping Andrew out following steps to protect the monarchy’s reputation.

Overview

  • King Charles and Queen Camilla led the walk to St Mary Magdalene Church, joined by the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children, who greeted crowds after the service.
  • Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie attended with their husbands, signaling their continued inclusion even as their father, Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor, and Sarah Ferguson did not take part.
  • Prince Andrew, stripped of his remaining titles in October and directed to leave Royal Lodge, remained excluded from the Sandringham events as those measures are put into effect.
  • Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis engaged warmly with well‑wishers, with Charlotte sharing a hug and Louis delighting in a giant chocolate gift.
  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle spent the day at home in California with their children, with Meghan sharing a message about a low‑key family celebration, and the King recently noting his cancer treatment schedule will be reduced in the new year.
