Sarah Ferguson’s joyful return to Sandringham for Christmas final 12 months marked a big second, as she joined the Royal Family’s festive celebrations for the primary time since 1991.
Accompanying Prince Andrew, she warmly greeted well-wishers exterior the Church of St Mary Magdalene and expressed her happiness in a heartfelt message to her followers:
“We are having fun with one another’s firm and feeling grateful right now. I hope everybody has an exquisite day. Happy Christmas to anybody who celebrates and season’s greetings to all!”
The festive reunion was a spotlight for Sarah, who even made headlines by breaking royal custom through the Christmas lunch.
However, this 12 months tells a really completely different story. Sarah and Prince Andrew will spend Christmas quietly at their shared residence, Royal Lodge, away from the royal festivities at Sandringham.
The resolution comes amid ongoing controversy surrounding Andrew’s alleged hyperlinks to a Chinese spy.
Reports recommend it was Sarah who urged Andrew to say no his invitation to each the Sandringham celebrations and the pre-Christmas royal lunch at Buckingham Palace, guaranteeing a extra subdued vacation for the pair this 12 months.
Their plans stand in stark distinction to final 12 months’s public celebration, displaying how a lot can change in only one 12 months.
