Prince Andrew will not join King Charles and the royal family for Christmas at Sandringham following reports of his alleged ties to a Chinese spy.
According to People magazine, Andrew, Sarah Ferguson, and their daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, will skip traditional festivities, including morning church services and the royal lunch.
The Duke of York recently acknowledged ending contact with a Chinese businessman linked to espionage after receiving official advice, claiming their discussions never involved sensitive matters.
The latest controversy adds to Andrew’s diminished royal status, following his prior association with Jeffrey Epstein and related allegations, which led to the loss of his military titles and royal patronages.
