Prince Andrew made a surprise appearance during the royals' Christmas Day walkabout at Sandringham in Norfolk, but was very much on the 'outside', according to a body language expert. Andrew stepped down from officials duties and was stripped of his military affiliations and patronages in the wake of a sex scandal earlier this year.
That meant it was unexpected when he joined serving royals at Sandringham as they returned to their traditional Christmas routine following Covid disruption in 2020 and 2021. King Charles led the family to the service at St Mary Magdalene for the first time following the death of the Queen in September.
While he joined his family for the event, body language expert Judi James said he was on the "outside" of the group and looked "haunted," reports The Mirror. Judi said Andrew looked "very much like the victim of a cull" during the church visit as he walked several paces behind the group.
