Palace Shares Princess Anne Statement Amid Prince Andrew Scandal

The new Prince Andrew scandal has taken the Royal Family by surprise and completely changed their plans for this festive season.

In their struggle to mitigate the backlash that would arise from the Prince Andrew quarters, he has been uninvited to Sandringham Castle and won’t be partaking in the Royal Family’s poignant Christmas morning outing.

Even amid the chaos, Princess Anne continues to prove why she earned the title of the hardest working royal, and the Palace appreciates.

Princess Anne Visits Serving Members of 29 Regiment After Tough Royal Year

Prince Andrew willingly dropped out of the pre-Christmas lunch after reports surfaced that he’d made a suspected Chinese spy, Yang Tengbo, his “close confidante.”

Following a High Court hearing last week, it was revealed that Tengbo has been barred from entering the UK. Tengbo, whose name was revealed after an anonymity order was lifted on Monday, has insisted that all he was accused of have been untrue. He also maintained that he has “done nothing wrong or unlawful.”

The supposed spy posing as a businessman visited Buckingham Palace in 2018 to meet with the late Queen’s second son.

Reports suggest he was also granted access to St James’s Palace and Windsor Castle at Andrew’s invitation. Andrew is said to have cut all contact with him.

Despite Andrew’s scandal, the Princess Royal continues to keep calm amd carrying on. This week, the royal visited “serving members of 29 Regiment @UKArmyLogistics at the Duke of Gloucester Barracks in South Cerney.”

The post fron the Royal Family further reads, “At the Barracks, HRH also saw kit and equipment ready to be sent to support Ukrainian conscripts.”

At 74, Anne continues to be the hardest royal, and even though she took a break after her head injury, she was soon back to her public-facing duties immediately after recovery.
She had a record year in 2023, carrying out a total of 457 public outings, the highest of any other royal family member.

She’s set to take the title again this year, despite her brief injury, which saw her spend five nights in the hospital and kept her from public engagements for weeks.
