King Charles and the rest of the royal family members reportedly feel \u201crelieved\u201d that Andrew will not be seen at this year\u2019s royal Christmas at Sandringham.<\/p>\n
According to a royal expert, the former \u201cdisgraced\u201d Prince\u2019s absence from the Christmas celebrations reflects how far he has fallen out of favour.<\/p>\n
Royal expert Jennie Bond said Andrew\u2019s ties with senior royals remain badly damaged, noting that recent public encounters have shown visible discomfort and distance. <\/p>\n
Although he has missed festive gatherings before, she told The Mirror<\/i> that she believes this year\u2019s exclusion sends the clearest message yet that he has been sidelined and is now viewed as a liability to the monarchy. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s obvious that Andrew\u2018s relationship with the rest of the Royal Family is, to say the least, extremely strained,\u201d the expert said. <\/p>\n
She added, \u201cYou only have to look at the pictures of him trying to cosy up to William at the Duchess of Kent\u2019s funeral to understand just how awkward things are. William virtually blanked him. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think the rest of the Royal Family will be mightily relieved that he won\u2019t be there. It is, though, the most obvious and public sign that he is ostracised and an embarrassment to the family. <\/p>\n
\u201cAnd that must feel pretty unpleasant. It looks set to be rather a miserable time for the disgraced Mountbatten-Windsor.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
