A royal author believes the former Duke and Duchess of York have “plenty of options” when it comes to Christmas 2025 plans.<\/a> Since their alleged ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein<\/a> came to light once more following the posthumous release of Virginia Giuffre’s\u00a0Nobody’s Girl\u00a0memoir, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson have been on the outs with the royals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As it’s off the cards to enjoy festivities with King Charles<\/a> and Queen Camilla, Andrew Lownie, who wrote Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, thinks the ex-married couple could spend their time in Royal Lodge in Windsor.<\/p>\n

He explained: “I [think] they would take advantage of this last Christmas to do all sorts of entertaining there. They’ve got friends… there are friends that go back a long way, and [have] stuck with them. Andrew still has his shooting friends.”<\/p>\n

But as the couple are expected to move out of their home early next year, the former Duke and Duchess may be invited elsewhere for the festive season, as reported in Cosmopolitan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“They may go to friends,” Lownie suggests, going on to say that whatever the pair get up to, they won’t have a “terrible Christmas.”<\/p>\n

Unlike their parents, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are very much still invited to spend Christmas with the Royal Family.<\/a><\/p>\n

Last year, Eugenie spent Christmas with her husband and his family, while Beatrice opted to join the Royal Family at Sandringham<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the date has not been officially announced for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s<\/a> move to the Sandringham Estate<\/a> in Norfolk, preparations are thought to be well under way.<\/p>\n

It has been reported that the disgraced royal will move to Marsh Farm near the village of Wolferton once the much-needed repairs have been completed.<\/p>\n

It has been widely reported that the empty property will become Andrew’s new home<\/a> after new ‘no-fly’ regulations were extended to cover the property.<\/p>\n

Despite this, the palace has said that they will not be providing the name of his new home as the King\u2019s brother is a “private citizen” and Sandringham is a “private estate”.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A royal author believes the former Duke and Duchess of York have “plenty of options” when it comes…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":352153,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[149661,64,63,5503,189703,134,5514,193494,140029,149659,36617],"class_list":["post-352152","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-andrew-mountbatten-windsor","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-christmas","tag-christmas-day","tag-entertainment","tag-royal-family","tag-royal-family-christmas","tag-royal-lodge","tag-sandringham-estate","tag-sarah-ferguson"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/352152","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=352152"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/352152\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/352153"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=352152"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=352152"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=352152"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
