The Duke of York, whose friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein brought great shame on the family, has faced yet more controversy in recent times amid a scandal involving alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo, who is now banned from the UK after losing an appeal earlier this month.
Prince Andrew's lonely Christmas as he's cast out of Sandringham The Royal Family is currently gathering at Sandringham, where they'll be enjoying their beloved, and not to mention eccentric, Christmas traditions.
Now Andrew, 64, will instead be spending a quieter Christmas at Royal Lodge with his ex-wife Sarah, Duchess of York, as some 45 regal guests celebrate in style at the breath-taking Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
While the gag gift swapping and tree decorating gets underway, Andrew has stepped well away from this year's festivities to avoid any further embarrassment for his elder brother, King Charles III.
Over the weekend, Andrew was spotted heading out on his own near Windsor Castle, ahead of what looks set to be a lonely festive period.
