Meghan Markle and Prince Harry won’t be the only ones to skip the Windsor clan’s Christmas celebrations at Sandringham. According to the magazine’s revelations People revealed this Tuesday, December 17, 2024, Princesses Beatrice and Eugénie of York should also be missing. Remember that their parents Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson will also not participate in this annual meeting now organized by King Charles III. Obviously, the latter will spend December 15 at the Royal Lodge, their residence which they still share despite their official divorce in 1996.
And yet last year, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson had indeed participated in the festivities in addition to making a notable appearance at St. Mary Madgalène Church, nestled in the domain so beloved by the British royal family.

In addition to Sienna, whom he had in 2021 with the granddaughter of Prince Philip, the person concerned is also the happy father of little Christopher, aged eight, born from a previous relationship. As for Eugénie, married since 2018 to Jack Brooksbank, she is at the head of a happy tribe of two children: August (2021) and Ernest (2023). The two sisters very rarely missed the Christmas parties organized in Norfolk. However, four years ago, the tandem was unable to participate due to the Covid-19 pandemic…
