King Charles Urged to Invite Two Royals to Christmas to 'Stop the Rot’ Around Andrew and Fergie

Sarah Ferguson is reportedly plotting a scathing memoir exposing the royal family secrets, while Andrew is aiming to do the same.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson's scandalous ties to Jeffrey Epstein have brought the monarchy much public ire. Now stripped of their royal titles, the former Yorks are reportedly planning scathing memoirs exposing the royal family's secrets. Weighing in on the chaos, royal expert Chris Riches suggests that if King Charles would graciously invite their daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, to Christmas, he could prevent the former Duke and Duchess of York from going rogue.

In an article for the Daily Express, Riches opined that while Mountbatten-Windsor and Ferguson wish to spend Christmas with their daughters, it would be in the best interest of the King to invite the Princesses himself, leaving the disgraced couple without company. He wrote, "Wouldn't it be a masterstroke if King Charles had invitations drop on the doormat to Beatrice and Eugenie, welcoming them into their embrace this Christmas, to join Queen Camilla, William and Catherine, and other 'in the fold' royals at Sandringham instead?"

Explaining how inviting the York sisters would be a blessing in disguise for Charles, he added, "Andrew and Fergie not leaving Royal Lodge until after the New Year has been a right royal result for King Charles and William, as it keeps the black sheep a three-hour car ride away during the festive season, and far from the media's eyes." He brutally stressed, "As any Victorian sawbones will tell you about gangrene, you have to stop the rot somewhere, Andrew and Fergie can't be 'saved' but the Princesses can, if they stay smart."

To argue his case, Riches highlighted the public's apparent soft corner for Beatrice and Eugenie amidst their parents' scandals. He stressed, "The public bear Beatrice and Eugenie no ill-will, even sympathizing with them to a degree as long as they don't slip into making quick cash-grabs like ma and pa. In time, Brits will forget Andrew and Fergie, though not forgive, and all that will be left of the 'Yorks' will be the Princesses." He further suggested that inviting them for the annual Christmas walkabout would also allow them to escape their parents for a while and safeguard their reputation.

Royal experts have unanimously predicted that Charles may invite Beatrice and Eugenie for the Christmas celebrations, as he reportedly feels sorry for them and regards them as 'innocent victims.' In a conversation with the Daily Mail, Phil Dampier shared his thoughts on the King's decision to uninvite Mountbatten-Windsor and Ferguson and pointed out, "If it turns out they [Andrew and Ferguson] are not invited, or decide themselves not to go, then it makes it very difficult for Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie." He opined that the York sisters would feel it's unfair if they were to attend without their parents, and wouldn't risk rubbing salt in their wounds. 

Interestingly, the York sisters have also received support from Kate Middleton. It is said that the Princess of Wales has allegedly invited them to her upcoming annual Christmas celebration. Royal commentator Neil Sean told Fox News Digital that "Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie received personal invitations for this year's 'Together at Christmas' from Princess Catherine's office."
