An alleged drunken Prince Andrew reportedly made quite a scene at two royal family Christmas events. The Duke of York was said to have crashed Queen Elizabeth's parties and lashed out at Prince William and Kate Middleton.
According to the National Enquirer, Prince Andrew first came unannounced at the Buckingham Palace staff party a week before Christmas. Prince Charles apparently threw him out was he was not invited to the event.
However, Prince Andrew also turned up at the Sandringham Christmas Day affair uninvited despite being told off by his older brother a week earlier. Prince Andrew allegedly "unleashed a torrent of abuse" at Prince William and Kate.
According to insiders, Prince Andrew called Prince William a spoiled brat and blamed him losing his position in the royal family. The reports further claimed that the terrible incident caused Kate to be terrified that Prince William had to call security on his Uncle.
The shocking story also stated that Prince Andrew shoved Prince William to a wall. Apparently, everything happened right in front Queen Elizabeth who was reportedly mortified of what she witnessed.
However, the royal brawl raised some eyebrows and a few questions. Boing Boing wondered if the British press was in on the cover up since the incident was not reported anywhere else but in the tabloid.
The news outlet also questioned how Prince Andrew and Prince Charles were seen walking side-by-side to church at Sandringham for their Christmas Day service. If they were not in good terms, why was Prince Charles talking heartedly to his brother? It was reported by the rest of the media that Prince Charles joined Prince Andrew that day to show solidarity with the embattled royal.
Meanwhile, it doesn't look like Prince Andrew's problems will go away in 2020. Virginia Roberts Giuffre, the Duke of York's accuser who said that she had sexual relations with the royal as a minor, will be standing before a New York judge in the Jan. 16.
The hearing is also set to name some "third party" respondents that might include Prince Andrew. The U.S. judge will determine if the royal will be subpoenaed to shed light on the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking trial.
Prince Andrew revealed in a BBC interview in November that he regrets his friendship with Epstein, who was convicted as a pedophile years before. However, he took his life while in prison in August 2019 as his other cases remain pending.
