King Charles Isn't Shy About His Christmas Plans For Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson Amid Reports He Wants The Pair to Be "Invisible"

Prince Andrew has largely stayed out of the spotlight after he was forced to relinquish his official duties. And while his relationship with the Royal Family has become strained in recent years following his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, had experienced a royal comeback of sorts—until this month. On September 20, a bombshell 2011 email surfaced showing Fergie had privately apologized to Epstein after publicly denouncing him. According to sources close to The King, this latest development has forced him to take action.

Per the Times, King Charles will not invite Prince Andrew and Ferguson to Christmas at Sandringham this year. It's a far cry from 2024, when the duchess was widely lauded as having "saved Christmas" by convincing Andrew to stay home amid his "Chinese spy" scandal.
