King Charles 'very grateful' to Sarah Ferguson for persuading Andrew to make big decision


King Charles is said to be 'very grateful' to Sarah Ferguson for persuading Prince Andrew to skip the royal Christmas celebrations, as the Duke of York faces fresh scandal

King Charles is reportedly 'very grateful' to Sarah Ferguson for convincing Prince Andrew to steer clear of the royal Christmas festivities amidst his latest scandal involving alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo.

Courtiers had wished that King Charles, known for his dislike of confrontations, wouldn't need to face the uncomfortable decision of barring Andrew from royal Christmas festivities due to the fresh scandal.
