Inside details of former prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s first public appearance after royal turmoil
The reunion marks as one of their first public family moments since Andrew was stripped of his royal titles
Former prince Andrew and Duke of York Sarah Ferguson appeared at the christening ceremony of their granddaughter — Athena Mapelli Mozzi.
The reunion was marked as one of their first public family moments since Andrew was stripped of his royal titles.
Princess Beatrice’s second daughter was baptized in a private ceremony on December 12 at the Chapel Royal in St James’s Palace.
The former Duke and Duchess of York arrived separately for the service and departed around noon, per Hello!.
Moreover, this appearance comes weeks after King Charles officially removed Andrew’s remaining titles.
And also between the renewed scrutiny of Andrew’s ties with Jeffrey Epstein.
In addition, despite the problematic circumstances, Beatrice extended the invitation, with insiders noting her relationship with her father has been strained but cautious.
Other attendees included Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, along with singer James Blunt and Sofia Wellesley, reportedly among Athena’s godparents.
According to royal sources, the event required “careful diplomacy,” given family tensions and public unease surrounding Andrew’s presence.
