This year's "Together at Christmas" carol service, which was led by the Princess of Wales, was notable for the absence of Prince Andrew and Princess Eugenie.
Since Kate started hosting the yearly celebration in Westminster Abbey in 2021, it has grown into a beloved custom.
Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Zara Tindall, and the Duchess of Edinburgh were among the senior royals that attended this year's celebration in large numbers.
The King's brother, Prince Andrew, was reportedly "not invited" to the event, according to sources, which has led to more conjecture on his ongoing avoidance of prominent royal events.
One of the main highlights of the royal calendar is the carol service, which honors unity and community spirit during the holidays.
"It was suggested that Andrew be invited to Kate's carol service, possibly sitting behind a pillar," according to a source.
The fact that neither Andrew nor his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson attended the function fueled rumors that they were avoiding important royal events. Regarding the issue, Kensington Palace has refrained from commenting.
This year's absence also included Princess Eugenie, who has been present at every carol service since it began in 2021.
Princess Eugenie's vacation plans are the subject of conjecture in the meantime. Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, have reportedly received an invitation from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to spend Christmas in California, according to reports from The Express.
"Harry and Meghan have invited Eugenie and Jack to join them for the holidays," an insider disclosed. Eugenie finds herself in a very challenging situation because she has also received an invitation to Sandringham.
