An expert on royal affairs has claimed that Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi might alter their plans to spend Christmas with his family in Sardinia. The couple is already scheduled to spend the holiday with his family.
According to Mirror, a royal analyst revealed that Princess Beatrice would change her Christmas plans in order to prevent Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson from being left alone during the holiday season. In spite of the fact that Princess Beatrice had initially intended to spend the holidays with the family of her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Ingrid Seward said that the two of them might change their plans in order to ensure that her parents are not left alone.
This supposition comes in the middle of rumors that Prince Andrew and Sarah, his ex-wife, will not be attending the annual royal meeting that takes place at Sandringham this year. It is anticipated that the Duke of York, who has been involved in a number of controversies in recent times, including a connection to a Chinese spy, would not attend the pre-Christmas luncheon at Buckingham Palace for the extended Royal Family.
Given that Prince Andrew is expected to be absent from the celebrations, it would suggest that Sarah will also be away from the event, despite the fact that she was there for the royal parade the previous year.
Per Geo, Seward voiced her conviction in an interview with the Telegraph that Princess Beatrice will make certain that her parents are not left alone, stating: "Somehow or other, I think that Fergie and Andrew will be with Beatrice, Edo and the kids, either at Royal Lodge or the in-laws. She is very close to her father and will want to support him and be with him at this time."
Despite the fact that Sarah would rather be surrounded by loved ones, the expert recommended that Prince Andrew could be more content with some time to himself, to which she added that it was impossible for her to imagine Sarah sitting by herself at Royal Lodge.
She continued to explain that Sarah, who has a wide social circle, would likely spend time with her daughters, stating, "She has lots of friends and family and would want to be with them. Andrew possibly wouldn't mind. He would sit there in front of the TV, but Sarah would organise something with Beatrice."
In spite of the fact that they broke up more than three decades ago, Sarah and Prince Andrew have managed to keep up a cordial relationship and even take up residence together at the Royal Lodge. As Seward continued to discuss their unique living arrangement, she acknowledged that Sarah has faced numerous challenging Christmases since her separation from Andrew in 1992.
In spite of the fact that she and Prince Andrew continued to maintain a close relationship despite the fact that they are no longer married but continue to reside together at Royal Lodge, she spent Christmas on her own at Wood Farm, a five-bedroom mansion located on the Sandringham Estate.
It has been reported that all of the senior royals, including the King, are "exasperated" by Prince Andrew. It was verified by royal insiders that Prince Andrew had "done the right thing" by withdrawing from the Christmas celebration.
Recent statements made by Sarah indicate that she will always be in support of the father of her children.
She said: "I was utterly in love with Andrew. I would do it all over again, 100 per cent. He's the best, a great man with a great heart, and kind. Our wedding was the best day of my life. But I gave up my anonymity that day. I was able to because love conquers all. It's still with us today. I won't let him down."
