Andrew Drenched, Royals Celebrated at King's Christmas Lunch
16 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Young royals George, Louis, and Charlotte attended King Charles' Christmas lunch.
- Prince Andrew was photographed riding a horse in the rain separately.
- Andrew recently lost his Vice-Admiral title and military roles.
King Charles hosted his annual pre-Christmas family lunch at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, with young royals Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis among the attendees. The Prince and Princess of Wales arrived with their children, with Prince William driving the car.
In stark contrast, Prince Andrew was photographed riding alone in the rain near Windsor. The disgraced royal, who has faced controversy over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, was seen looking somber while other family members, including his daughters Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, celebrated with the King.
Andrew's absence from the royal gathering follows recent news that he has been demoted from Vice-Admiral to Commander (Retired) Royal Navy, his last remaining military title. Despite this, his daughters Eugenie and Beatrice were welcomed at the lunch, with King Charles reportedly not wishing to punish them for their father's actions.
