Palace lunch off for prince amid spy row
Manchester Evening News|December 19, 2024
THE Duke of York has pulled out of the royal family’s traditional pre-Christmas lunch as he continues to be dogged by his links to an alleged Chinese spy.

Andrew has decided not to attend the gathering at Buckingham Palace today after speaking to his ex-wife and close friend Sarah, Duchess of York, according to a source.

The move is another embarrassing moment for the King’s brother, who has already withdrawn from joining senior royals at Sandringham, in Norfolk, for the festive period.

The Buckingham Palace lunch is a private event for senior royals and their wider family who will not be attending Christmas celebrations at Charles’s Sandringham home.
