Why Prince Andrew attended Christmas outing at Sandringham despite King Charles' snub

A royal expert recently dished on the reason why Prince Andrew attended Christmas outing at Sandringham, despite King Charles' snub.

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told Daily Mail: “Andrew’s appearance at the St Mary Magdalene Church at Sandringham today, comes a day after it was reported that he is now not allowed to have an office in Buckingham Palace, retain a small staff or use it as an address.”

“He is clearly on his own and may recruit his own team as he battles to be rehabilitated. He is still a member of the Royal Family hence his appearance,” the expert continued.

"However, he is not and will never be a senior working royal as he once was, King Charles has made this clear,” Richard added.

Meanwhile, a palace insider recently told The Sun that Prince Andrew’s ‘any presence at the Palace’ is ‘officially over’.

"The King has made it clear. He isn’t a working royal. He’s on his own,” the insider added.
