Royal Family LIVE: Andrew faces Christmas snub by his own daughter Princess Beatrice | Royal | News

Princess Beatrice is avoiding spending Christmas with her disgraced father Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, opting instead for a ski holiday abroad with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and his friends. The 37-year-old princess faced an agonizing dilemma after receiving an invitation to join the King at Sandringham and celebrate with her exiled parents at the Royal Lodge.

To avoid embarrassment and family tensions, Beatrice chose neither, heading to the slopes to escape the influence of her father’s Jeffrey Epstein connections. Sun. Little sister Princess Eugenie remains undecided, although she will spend the celebrations with her husband Jack Brooksbank.

One insider described Andrew as “very much like the Grinch” and noted that festive cheer was in short supply in an environment where the release of the new Epstein files has deepened his disgrace. Sources reveal the Royal Lodge is devoid of the usual decorations this year (no wreaths on the doors or trees on the roof), marking a dreary final Christmas before Andrew and Sarah Ferguson vacate the mansion.
