It had previously been rumored that Beatrice, like her sister Princess Eugenie (34), would be spending Christmas with her in-laws. She wanted to travel abroad for this. However, according to the report, doctors advised the pregnant woman not to make the long journey. It is not known where the celebration was to take place.
Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi already have a three-year-old daughter. Mapelli Mozzi also has an eight-year-old son from a previous relationship. The couple's second child is due to be born in the spring.
According to PA, 45 people are expected to attend the royal Christmas party at the sprawling country estate in the eastern English county of Norfolk. In addition to the royal couple, heir to the throne Prince William and his wife Princess Kate (both 42) and their children are also expected to attend.
The royals will be giving presents on Christmas Eve
However, Prince Andrew (64), the father of Beatrice and Eugenie, will not be there. This is probably due to the fact that he has recently hit the headlines again because of his closeness to an alleged Chinese spy. Due to his involvement in the abuse scandal surrounding US multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who died in 2019, Andrew has already had to largely withdraw from public life.
The Royal Family always attends church in Sandringham on Christmas Day. Unlike most British families, however, the royals receive their presents on Christmas Eve - a tradition they owe to their German ancestors.
