Two notable absences from the pub gathering were Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, who had attended the christening itself but chose not to continue to the celebration.<\/p>\n

The ceremony represented a significant moment for the former Duke and Duchess of York, as it was their first royal outing following the removal of their titles in October.<\/p>\n

Rather than joining relatives afterwards, the pair returned to their more withdrawn existence away from public royal engagements.<\/p>\n

The gathering brought together intimate family connections despite the absence of more senior royals, with Beatrice understood to be focused on celebrating her daughter’s special day.<\/p>\n

Reports indicate the christening was postponed from earlier in the year owing to controversy surrounding Athena’s grandparents.<\/p>\n

Beatrice is believed to have remained close to her mother Sarah though her bond with her father has grown significantly strained. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi marked their daughter Athena’s christening with a trip to a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":312966,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,2177,20044,1852,24556,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-312965","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-prince-andrew","11":"tag-princess-beatrice","12":"tag-royal","13":"tag-sarah-ferguson","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312965","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=312965"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312965\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/312966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=312965"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=312965"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=312965"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
