King Charles III published a firm declaration, reporting a decisive decision in the royal family which has a Buckingham palace on alert. The king announced that the Duke of York and his wife, Sarah Ferguson, will be excluded from this year’s Christmas celebrations at the Palace.
The decision comes in the middle of a new control over Andrew’s links with Jeffrey Epstein and the associated controversies, which continue to throw a shadow on the crown. By prohibiting the Duke of the Palace, Charles III strengthens the position of the monarchy against scandals which could harm its credibility.
Sources indicate that this decision is also intended to separate the institution from any current problem linked to Andrew and Fergie, ensuring that the royal house can maintain the stability of the public perception. While the Duke of York has long faced a decrease in public responsibilities, this stage marks an additional distance from family and official matters.
Christmas at the Buckingham Palace, traditionally a period of family gatherings and ceremonial protocol, will therefore occur without Andrew and Ferguson. The Times reported the king’s declaration, stressing that new information concerning the Duke’s past associations required this action.
Observers note that this decision also comes as when King Charles works to repair relations with Prince Harry, indicating a wider effort to stabilize family dynamics while confirming the public image of the monarchy. The sources of the Buckingham Palace say that the king wants all the involved parts to maintain a low profile until things are clarified.
