Christmas needle Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice are set to ditch their parents, Prince Andrew and Fergie, with “Bea” blithely joining the official royal Christmas in Sandringham, to which the shamed prince and his ex-wife have been uninvited.

While the time is for relaxing and appreciating family, Christmas for the Royal Family is also very jam-packed according to a royal expert, who says a festive schedule is handed out to family members on arrival. In the schedule, guests have detailed instructions on when to wake up, gather for drinks, eat meals and go to bed.
