Prince Andrew’s life would be easier if he avoided spending Christmas at Sandringham and instead celebrated with his close family at Royal Lodge, a former royal correspondent has claimed.It comes after the brothers have been entangled in an ongoing feud over the Duke of York’s residency at the 30-room property.King Charles attempted to evict his younger brother by axing his £1million allowance, which the duke had relied on since stepping back from royal duties in 2019.Former BBC royal respondent Jennie Bond suggested that the York’s expanding family should start considering hosting a Christmas at Royal Lodge.Prince Andrew’s life would be easier if he avoided spending Christmas at Sandringham and instead celebrated with his close family at Royal Lodge, a former royal correspondent has claimedGettyShe also confirmed that Andrew has almost certainly been invited to Sandringham to spend Christmas with the rest of the Royal Family.”As families expand, life gets more complicated. And the Yorks now have two sons-in-law and four grandchildren to consider. So it is beginning to become untenable to have the whole extended Royal Family under one roof at Sandringham…especially with Camilla’s family to consider as well.”Andrew currently resides in Royal Lodge with his former wife, Sarah Ferguson.The royal pair’s two daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, have three children between them, with Beatrice pregnant with Andrew’s fourth grandchild.The Duke and Duchess of York’s two daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, have three children between them, with Beatrice pregnant with Andrew’s fourth grandchildGettyEugenie, who married Jack Brooksbank in 2018, has two sons, August and Ernest.While Beatrice is expecting her second child with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.The pair already have a daughter, Sienna, born in 2021, and Edoardo has an eight-year-old son, Christopher Woolf, from his previous relationship.Bond suggests that the Duke of York remains keen on the traditional royal Christmas despite the ongoing controversy.Beatrice and Edoardo already have a daughter, Sienna, born in 2021, and Edoardo has an eight-year-old son, Christopher Woolf, from his previous relationshipGettyThe couple attend the festive occasion annually, staying at Wood Farm near the main property.This would allow them the option to participate in their “own family thing” if they wished to, according to Bond.Bond told OK!: “Charles is not a vindictive man…far from it…and whatever has gone on between the brothers, I think he will always extend an invitation for Andrew and his family to share big family occasions.”But Andrew’s own growing family will give him and Sarah the perfect reason to avoid Sandringham and surround themselves with their daughters and little one. Beatrice and Eugenie are very protective of both their parents. “And you can’t help but think that life would be easier all round if the Yorks began to stage their own festivities at Christmas.”
