Calls for Prince Andrew to bow out of Christmas with the royals started to intensify after it was revealed the Duke of York had ties to suspected Chinese spy Yang Tengbo last week. While Andrew and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson eventually backed out of going to Sandringham with the rest of the Royal Family, it's now been confirmed that they won't be attending another major festive event.
Multiple outlets reported on Wednesday, Dec. 18 that the Duke of York will not be attending The King's annual Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace this week. The event, which will be held on Dec. 19, will welcome 70 members of the family, including many extended relatives who don't come to the usual royal get-togethers.
