Royals join the ‘office’ knees-up
"After not much more than a mince pie with which to celebrate Christmas in recent years, servants at Buckingham Palace were understandably excited as they gathered last night for their first staff ball since 2008...
The Queen herself, along with Prince Philip, Prince Andrew and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, were due to lead the royal contingent."

Some very nice pictures of Sarah and Eugenie on their visit to the cancer centre on Monday, courtesy of the Cambridge News...

Mrs Swinburn?? Lady Swinburn surely. Even the DM should be able to get something that basic right.

I wonder if either of the girls' boyfriends attended this event.
If they are close to an engagement a family event like this would be a sort of indicator.
Not that non-attendance wouldn't be but attendance would show that they are being more and more into the family fold.

Maybe the boys stayed out of the way? Pretty sure David got to go to Kate and Williams wedding not sure about Eugenies though. I would expect they would have attended unless they were busy elsewhere.

Dave didn't attend William's wedding and Beatrice was upset that he wasn't even invited to the party in the evening.
He was invited to Zara's as was Eugenie's.

According to an article in the Daily Express Prince Andrew will be
away skiing over Christmas.
A Royal Family Christmas | UK | Express.co.uk - Home of the Daily and Sunday Express
This would be very much out of character for Andrew. I wonder if Andrew
isn't going to be there would that make it easier for the girls to spend the day with Sarah? Perhaps Andrew can't celebrate his birthday skiing in February as her normally does, and is going now instead?
I would be a bit surprised if Beatrice and Eugenie are spending Christmas day with neither their father or mother.
I think if this report was accurate it would be more widely reported.

Yes, wonder who's picking up the tab?
It's certain Fergie isn't!
(The article seems to hint Paddy McNally is paying but doesn't actually state that).

Why is this "news"? I think that we need to relegate her to the same place as Lord Snowdon and Capt. Phillips. She is NOT royal. If she wants to go skiing, go. Just don't alert the media and if you do, they shouldn't print it. IGNORE HER.

It is news because the papers know that there are people out there who like to whinge about Sarah and so it sells.

I agree with you, they're probably hoping for scandal.

Usually when she goes skiing over the Christmas New Year period she is also joined by her ex-husband and their daughters.

Prince Andrew and his daughters Beatrice & Eugenie have joined their mum Fergie on the slopes of Verbier over the new year.

Iluvbertie, you should go after Richard Kay's job. He has a report
this morning which suggests you instincts were correct.
Dman also came across a tweet with the same news.
