This year’s Christmas lunch truly revealed what King Charles thought of Andrew’s daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, as well as his plans for their future, in one bungled swoop.
It’s all commented on by Majesty’s editor, Ingrid Seward.
I shared the possible outcomes to the sisters while talking to her Vanity gallery She began calling the invitation to Christmas lunch a “show of support” for the sisters.
For those who are not familiar with the challenges the sisters have faced this year, it refers to their parents’ ordeal after their correspondence with known sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was leaked.
While no calls have yet been officially made for their own titles to be revoked, as was the case with their father, who is henceforth known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor rather than Prince Andrew, but he also lost the Duchy of York, as well as his military titles.
But that’s not all, because his links with a Chinese spy were also revealed here last year. All of this led to him missing out on the opportunity to live in a taxpayer-funded estate like the Royal Lodge.
Regardless of his status, the expert points out that regarding his daughters, “the invitations have been sent out for months, and we know that the king loves a big family Christmas.”
Furthermore, “Beatrice was there last year” as well although she “then left after church and went to lunch with Sarah and Andrew at the Royal Lodge,” due to the ongoing media frenzy regarding that alleged spy.
Ms Seward added before the signing: “I think the King was keen to show his support for his nieces during a difficult year for the House of York.”
What’s worth noting is that King Charles also has high hopes for his nieces when it comes to their work on the social front because, as a source previously told Tatler, “This was something that had been considered before recent events but despite what happened with Andrew, it’s not out of the question. Whatever people think of Andrew, the girls are kind and hardworking and want to help if they can.”
