Speaking of Andrew’s absence on Thursday, royal author Phil Dampier claimed that he was “very surprised” by Andrew’s decision.

He said: “I am very surprised that Andrew has pulled out of the Buckingham Palace lunch because it is a private event and he would only be seen arriving in his car.

“Other members of the family are sympathetic towards him, but it seems at the moment he is being influenced by his ex-wife Sarah, who is perhaps playing a longer game now that she is back in the bosom of the Royal Family.”

Despite Andrew’s absence, his daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie both attended the pre-Christmas lunch at the London residence.

The sisters’, aged 34 and 36, were spotted arriving separate – with their husbands and children in tow.
