The Windsors attend Sandringham Christmas Mass: Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s Surprise Appearance

While it is true that the celebration of Christmas at Sandringham is part of the royal family’s private agenda, it is no less true that the walk to the church of Saint Mary Magdalene in Norfolk, where they attend mass every year, is a real crowd bath for the Windsors. It is not an official act, but attendance at this liturgy is very symbolic. It has not been too surprising to see for the second consecutive year the prince andrew behind senior members of the royal family, although he had not been seen in public since the coronation of Charles III. What was unexpected is that his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson accompanied himwho attends this religious service for the first time in more than three decades.

With a green coat with a matching headdress and her perennial smile, Fergie, as she is affectionately called, chatted with some of them and also picked up a bouquet of flowers and some other gift during your way to church.

The Duchess of York last participated in this tradition in 1991.. She then walked next to her then husband and chatted, laughing, with Diana of Wales who did not let go of little Harry’s hand, only seven years old. There were only a few months left until a separation not without controversy was made public, which meant that she would not be invited again to any event of the royal family, neither public nor private, until decades later.

Their situation has changed a lot over the years. First of allmaintains an excellent relationship with her ex-husband the Duke of York. Not only do they reside together in the imposing Royal Lodge, she has also been a fundamental support for him when the Jeffrey Epstein scandal overwhelmed him. That good relationship extends to many other members of the family, such as her nephew Prince Harry, who was the first to involve her in an event with royalty by inviting her to her wedding with Meghan Markle in 2018. . Also He greatly appreciated Elizabeth II and even inherited his beloved corgies. Charles III continued with this progressive thaw when last year he invited her to spend Christmas at Sandringham, although she did not join the Windsors in the traditional mass as she did on December 25 with the Duke of York, her daughters, the Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice and their sons-in-law, Jack Brooksbank and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

The uncertain future of Prince Andrew after the agreement that has allowed him to avoid trial

The presence of Sarah Ferguson with Prince Andrew also sends another message: the former couple continues to form a team, a common front in a difficult time for the brother of Charles III. Retired from public life since 2018, he has not appeared in public since the coronation, but just as he did last year after three absences, he has returned to the Christmas mass at a delicate time. The fall of the Duke of York has been a decline in phases and it does not seem to have hit rock bottom after the million-dollar agreement with the complainant to avoid a trial for abuse. His relationship with Jeffrey Epstein could continue to take its toll on him after a United States court ruled that documents related to more than 170 people involved with the financier who was found dead in his cell in August 2018 must be made public, which could splash again to the Duke of York.
