Prince Edward and his wife Sophie were bracing for a less than joyful Christmas due to the presence of Prince Andrew, until a last-minute alteration in plans brought them relief.The Royal couple was originally set to share their Christmas at Sandringham with the Duke of York, which reportedly did not sit well with them.
However, their holiday outlook improved when Andrew opted out of attending following his entanglement in a new controversy involving a Chinese spy.According to reports, Prince Edward and Sophie were "less than pleased" upon learning they would be in close quarters with the Yorks over the festive period.
Now, Andrew is expected to spend a solitary Christmas at Royal Lodge with only his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, while the rest of the family gathers at Sandringham.Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.You'll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.All you have to do is click here if you're on mobile, select 'Join Community' and you're in!If you're on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click 'Join Community'.We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
