Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice join royal family for Christmas Day service
"Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice attended church with the royal family on Christmas morning, in a year where their father Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was stripped of his royal titles. Mountbatten-Windsor's two daughters could be seen walking behind King Charles III and Queen Camilla on their way to church on the private Sandringham estate in Norfolk. Mountbatten-Windsor was not present, nor was his former wife Sarah Ferguson, who last attended the Christmas Day service in Sandringham in 2023."
"Mountbatten-Windsor is believed to be spending Christmas at his Royal Lodge home near Windsor Castle, after the former Duke of York was stripped of his titles by his brother over his friendship to the convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The fall of Prince Andrew a timeline Queen Elizabeth II's second son is expected to soon vacate the Royal Lodge for the Marsh Farm property on the Sandringham estate. It is currently being renovated."
"Also in attendance were the Prince and Princess of Wales, with their children, and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh. The Princess Royal and her husband, V Adm Sir Timothy Laurence, were seen walking close behind the king and queen. Anne's daughter, Zara Tindall, and her husband, the former England rugby international Mike Tindall, were seen a few steps behind King Charles. Hundreds gathered to watch the royals walk to the Christmas morning church service on a bright and sunny morning in East Anglia."
Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice walked behind King Charles III and Queen Camilla to the Christmas Day service at St Mary Magdalene on the Sandringham estate, accompanied by their husbands Jack Brooksbank and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. Their father, Prince Andrew, who was stripped of his royal titles, did not attend, and Sarah Ferguson was also absent. Prince Andrew is believed to be spending Christmas at Royal Lodge near Windsor Castle and is expected to move to Marsh Farm on the Sandringham estate once renovations finish. The Prince and Princess of Wales with their children, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the Princess Royal, and Zara and Mike Tindall also attended. Hundreds gathered to watch the short walk, and the service marked the end of a turbulent year for the royal family.
