What's Happening?
Princess Kate hosted her annual 'Together at Christmas' carol service at Westminster Abbey in London, attended by her husband Prince William and their three children. The event, aimed at celebrating love in various forms, was notably missing Princess Beatrice
and Princess Eugenie, daughters of former Prince Andrew. Despite personal invitations from Princess Kate, the sisters were absent, with Eugenie expressing her regret on Instagram. The event comes after a tumultuous year for the royal family, including King Charles III stripping Andrew of his royal titles and evicting him from Royal Lodge due to his association with Jeffrey Epstein.
Why It's Important?
The absence of Andrew's daughters at the carol service highlights ongoing tensions within the British royal family. This event underscores the challenges the family faces in maintaining a united public image amid scandals. The carol service, however, serves as a platform for the royal family to promote messages of love and unity, which are crucial for their public relations. The royal family's actions and appearances continue to be closely scrutinized, impacting public perception and the monarchy's reputation.
