Prince Andrew will not be joining his brother King Charles III and other members of the royal family for Christmas this year.
Instead, the Duke of York, 64, will “honourably withdraw” from the royal family’s Christmas celebrations at their estate in Sandringham, England to avoid being a distraction, according to the BBC.
It is expected that Andrew will remain home at Royal Lodge in Windsor Park — the palatial estate he has fought to remain in after King Charles attempted to evict him.
Andrew’s bowing out comes after a British high court hearing last week heard evidence suggesting that an alleged Chinese spy banned from the UK was a “close” confidant of the prince.
On Monday, businessman Yang Tenbo, also known as Chris Yang, was revealed to be the alleged Chinese operative after a judge lifted an anonymity order that had kept his identity under wraps.
Yang has denied the accusations of espionage leveled against him, saying in a statement that he had “done nothing wrong or unlawful and the concerns raised by the Home Office against me are ill-founded.”
He also said that it is “entirely untrue” that he was a spy.
The Chinese national visited the UK regularly and frequently attended events at royal residences — Prince Andrew’s 60th birthday party at Royal Lodge key among them.
Court documents have reportedly revealed that Yang had an “unusual degree of trust” with Prince Andrew and was authorized to act on his behalf in business dealings with Chinese investors.

This is just more labor government BS. Why is it only the war hero Prince Andrew that gets this negative attention attention? There were many others that went to Epstein’s Island but only Prince Andrew gets mentioned whenever there’s a political crisis at home. The king should rehabilitate Prince Andrew asap. And just be done with it.
“...Why is it only the war hero Prince Andrew...”
“War Hero”?

BTW, YouTuber The Vintage Read Show just uploaded an interview with Andrew Lownie. First half of the about 50 minute interview deals with the ChiCom spy scandal. Worth the watch. Link below...
I think you are right. Andrew has stepped on his “Johnson” so many times he needs to disappear from public view. Maybe like Edward VII they should send him to be governor of Bermuda for a while until people forget about him.

And I'm wondering if Andrew Lownie's upcoming book on the Yorks has anything to do with this...
