Sarah Ferguson looks set to spend her first Christmas at Sandringham in 30 years, a report has claimed. The Duchess of York will likely join her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, at the Royal Family’s Norfolk Estate.

The 63-year-old has not spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with the rest of the family at Sandringham since she split from Andrew in 1992.

According to the Sun, a Sandringham insider revealed that the five-bedroom Wood Farm is being prepared for Andrew, Fergie, their daughters Beatrice, 34, and Eugenie, 32, and their own husbands and two children.

The invite to Sandringham could see the Duke and Duchess of York appear alongside other members of the Firm on the traditional Christmas Day family walk to St Mary Magdalene Church.

Prince Andrew was stripped of his official duties in the wake of the Jeffrey Epstein sex scandal.

However, Ms Ferguson had been banned from joining the Royal Family for Christmas at Sandringham since 1992 after she was caught having her toe sucked by financial adviser John Bryan.

A Sandringham source told the Sun: “When she split with Andrew, Sarah was never allowed at the family Christmas Eve and Christmas Day while Philip and the Queen were alive.

“For 30 years, she used to have Christmas dinner on her own.

“But things are being done differently now.”

If Ms Ferguson does decide to visit Sandringham this Christmas, it is believed she will join the rest of the Firm and swap gifts in the so-called White Room on December 24.

She will then likely sit down for a black-tie evening meal and dinner on Christmas Day, according to the Sun.

The decision to exile the Duchess of York from the Firm’s festivities was said to have come after Prince Philip was left furious amid a series of scandals at the end of her marriage to Prince Andrew.

An insider previously told Express.co.uk: “When she comes up for Christmas, she’s not allowed to stay in the house.

“To be frank, the Duke of Edinburgh doesn’t like her.”

The source added: “Philip detested Sarah and has never forgiven her for what she did in America.”
