A lonely Christmas awaits Prince Andrew as he steps back from the Royal Family’s celebrations at Sandringham.
The Duke of York, who has once again humiliated King Charles after befriending a Chinese spy, will spend the holidays with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.
Royal author Jennifer Newton writes for the Mirror: “As the gift-exchanging and tree-decorating begins, Andrew has stepped back quite a bit from this year’s festivities to avoid further embarrassment for his older brother, King Charles III. Royal sources have confirmed that he has “done the right thing”, and senior members of the firm are said to be “exasperated” by him.
He continues: “So what does the holiday season have in store for us? Well, it looks like it will be very different from last year when he was surrounded by his family. “Instead, he will stay at his Royal Lodge home, apparently with only his ex-wife Fergie for company.”
Meanwhile, royal biographer Ingrid Seward told the Mirror: “His irresponsible behavior and dubious friendships have exasperated his older brother for some time now. However, nothing has been as damaging to the monarchy as Andrew’s current situation. It’s about the British government, MI6 and the Chinese government. It’s almost like a spy TV special.”
