King tells Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson to miss royal Christmas

King Charles plans to exclude Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson from royal Christmas and future events amid reputational damage from their links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

  • This month King Charles was pictured in Barrow-in-Furness as calls grew for him to bar Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, from royal life and the Royal Family Christmas gathering.
  • Earlier this week, leaked 2011 messages show Ferguson apologising to Jeffrey Epstein and calling him a `supreme friend`, prompting renewed scrutiny of Prince Andrew's Epstein ties.
  • Following the email leak, Ferguson was dropped by charities including Teenage Cancer Trust and Julia's House and has sold her Belgravia townhouse while postponing a children's book until next year.
  • The King wants the Yorks to keep a low profile at family events, with Prince William urging eviction from Royal Lodge and cuts to their support, sources said.
  • Friends of the King say Charles is reluctant to cut family ties, saying `You can't sack someone from being your brother`, even as the Duke and Duchess of York's funeral appearance this month raised eyebrows.
