The King is planning a grand Christmas party to strengthen family unity after a year fraught with health issues, and his younger brother is expected to be in attendance.

the embattled figure. The Duke of York’s “loyal and protective daughters,” Princess Beatrice, 36, and Princess Eugenie, 34, are taking turns spending weekends with their father, 64, at Royal Lodge, the 30-bedroom mansion that he has refused to leave despite his brother King Charles III’s attempts to evict him, according to HELLO! Andrew has suffered a stunning fall from grace over the past five years after his disastrous “Newsnight” interview in which Charles’ younger brother said he didn’t regret his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein because the relationship led to “opportunities” that were “actually very useful.” The Duke stepped back from all public roles following a public outcry.

According to a new report from The Sunday Times, the “lack of closeness” between Andrew and Charles — stemming from Andrew’s past friendship with late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — “has matured into outright hostility.” This “new low in relations,” as The Times calls it, also has everything to do with Charles reportedly cutting Andrew off financially and attempting to evict him from his home, Royal Lodge — a lavish $38 million estate replete with a 30-room mansion situated on 98 acres within the grounds of Windsor Castle.

From planting vegetables as a child alongside his sister, Princess Anne, to his magnificent reinvention of Highgrove, our green-fingered monarch has been a lifelong pioneer of gardening. “As I get older, all I really long for is to plant trees.” So said our King, back in 2018, as he mused on how – had he not been born into arguably the world’s most famous family – he would choose to spend his twilight years. Sadly, a gruelling schedule of royal duties means King Charles isn’t free to while away his days digging holes and stuffing them with saplings, but indulging his green fingers is still a key part of the monarch’s day-to-day life.

Princess Beatrice is often praised for her devotion to balancing her busy working life with her charitable duties.
