Andrew, Sarah Ferguson to 'take advantage of last Christmas' in Royal Lodge

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson have many options for their Christmas celebrations despite being "banned" by the royals, per a royal author.

The former Duke and Duchess of York have fallen from grace after renewed interest in their ties with late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Normally, they would join the rest of the royals at Sandringham to celebrate Christmas, but this year, that won’t happen. This is also the last Christmas the couple have in their home, the Royal Lodge.

When Andrew was stripped of all his titles, he was also asked to vacate the mansion his family has lived in for more than two decades.

Andrew Lownie, who wrote Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, says the couple has the option to have Christmas in Royal Lodge.

"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," he said.

"They may go to friends," Lownie suggested, adding that whatever they decide to do, they won’t have a "terrible Christmas."

However, the Andrew and Sarah may have to spend the holiday without their daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, who are invited to spend Christmas with the Royal Family.
