‘Disgraced’ Andrew tries to ruin key occasion for Beatrice, Eugenie

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been accused of making his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, feel guilty for attending Royal Christmas lunch without hum.

According to a body language expert, the “disgraced” former royal was spotted horse riding in Windsor Great Park, looking "solemn and gloomy" as he was allegedly not invited to the House of Windsor's major Christmas bash.

In contrast, his daughters were beaming as they arrived at the event, hosted by King Charles, amid ongoing scandal of their parents, Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.

Body language expert Judi James told The Mirror, that Andrew's "Marley's ghost" appearance suggested he's doing little to hide his disappointment.

"Teeth gritted and eyes fixed ahead to suggest a determination to soldier on here, despite the rain that is equally determined to make him look like a sodden figure of solitary dejection on his horse," James said of Andrew's appearance.

She continued, "His features show no sign of riding pleasure or exhilaration here, he just sits in the saddle looking solemn and gloomy."

"Andrew's appearance could hardly be more designed to create a total visual contrast to that of his grinning, chuckling daughters, cocooned in the warmth of their car as they drove off to a joyful-looking family Xmas that he would apparently not be attending," the expert added.

She further noted, "If you want to not make people close to you feel any trace of guilt about going to a bash you are not, you might normally wave them off cheerily while cuddling up in front of a tv movie with Deliveroo on speed-dial."

"Andrew appears to have gone full-on 'Marley's ghost' here, with the rain dripping of the peak of his riding hat running obligingly in front of his face like a mini-Niagara."
