In a turn of events that underscores ongoing royal family dynamics, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have opted to forgo Kate Middleton’s annual Christmas carol service. The sisters have chosen to maintain a low profile amidst the continuing scrutiny surrounding their father, Prince Andrew.
Princess Eugenie, who is 35, shared the news on her Instagram Stories, offering a glimpse into the decision. By reposting a message from the Prince and Princess of Wales, she conveyed her sentiments saying, “Wish Bea and I could have been celebrating tonight with our family.”
She added heartfelt wishes, “Wishing @princeandprincessofwales such a special evening at her incredible carol service. What an amazing message of love and hope.” The post subtly acknowledged the significance of the occasion, even in their absence.
According to royal commentator Neil Sean, who spoke to Fox News, Kate Middleton, 43, had personally invited the sisters. Her gesture was an attempt to present a united family front in the wake of the controversies involving Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. The invitation was part of a broader effort to demonstrate family solidarity despite the challenges.
Middleton, 43, reportedly extended personal invitations in a deliberate effort to present a united family front in light of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s recent scandal, royal commentator Neil Sean told Fox News in November.
Beatrice and Eugenie maintained their royal titles while their father was stripped of his “prince” title in October due to his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Shortly after the announcement, the princesses quietly jetted out of the U.K. They were later seen back in London on Nov. 6.
In addition to King Charles confiscating his brother’s title and honors, he also evicted Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson from their royal lodgings.
“His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew,” Buckingham Palace told Page Six in a statement Oct. 30.
“His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence. Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation.”
The title removal went into effect immediately and also applies to Duke of York, Earl of Inverness, Baron Killyleagh and “His Royal Highness.” Ferguson was also ordered to relinquish her Duchess of York title.
Most recently, a source revealed that Mountbatten-Windsor and Ferguson have been given a move-out date of Jan. 31.
The insider added that the former Duchess of York is searching “for a place in Windsor.”
Another insider previously informed Page Six that the former Prince would be relocating to a property on the private Sandringham estate.
