Princess Beatrice Joins Royals for Christmas

Princess Beatrice will celebrate Christmas with King Charles and the royal family at Sandringham after receiving medical advice against traveling abroad due to her pregnancy. Initially, Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi had planned to spend the holidays with his family, but she is now expected to be among the 45 attendees at the royal gathering. The couple's second child is due in early spring, and they also have a three-year-old daughter, Sienna, and Edoardo's son, Wolfie. Beatrice's father, Prince Andrew, will not attend the festivities amid ongoing controversies regarding his association with an alleged Chinese spy. He has opted to spend Christmas with his ex-wife Sarah, Duchess of York, instead. Princess Eugenie, Beatrice's sister, will spend the holiday with her in-laws, continuing the family's shifting holiday traditions.
