Royals Show United Front at Sandringham Christmas Service With Andrew Absent

The gathering doubled as reputational triage following a disputed Andrew photo report during the King’s ongoing cancer care.

Overview

  • King Charles III and Queen Camilla attended the St Mary Magdalene service with the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children, presenting a cohesive senior royal lineup.
  • Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York, were absent from the Sandringham events, and reports said Sarah was not included on the Christmas lunch guest list among roughly 43 invitees.
  • Italian media circulated a photo they claimed showed Andrew reclining across the knees of five young women with Jeffrey Epstein in the background, a report that lacks independent corroboration.
  • Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie joined other senior royals at Sandringham, underscoring their continued public roles despite their parents’ exclusion.
  • The King recorded his Christmas message at Westminster Abbey and recently said his cancer treatment may be reduced in the new year, as a light clip of Prince Louis holding an oversized chocolate went viral.
