Prince Andrew didn't join the royals for Christmas at Sandringham amid fallout around his alleged connection to a suspected "spy." All the details.

Despite the fact he was originally expecting to spend the festive period with the Royal Family and ex wife Sarah Ferguson, this plan changed last week after the Duke of York, 64, became involved in yet another scandal following his friendship with Chinese businessman Yang Tengbo, who is now suspected to be a spy.

Sarah Ferguson has made her first statement since pulling out of the Royal Family's Christmas celebrations. The Duchess of York and her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, will not be joining King Charles and the Royal Family on Wednesday in Sandringham.

Prince Andrew, Sarah Ferguson and their daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie will not attend King Charles' Christmas gathering at Sandringham amid the latest furor surrounding the Duke of York.

Britain's King Charles and members of the royal family attended a Christmas day service on Wednesday (December 25) at St. Mary Magdalene's church on the Sandringham estate. Scandal-hit Prince Andrew was notably absent.
