Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie attended a Christmas church service with the royal family at Sandringham despite their disgraced parents’ absence.
Eugenie, 35, sported a purple hat and matching coat for Thursday’s outing, while Beatrice, 37, opted for a houndstooth jacket.
The sisters were all smiles as they walked with their respective husbands, Jack Brooksbank and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
Their dad, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and mom, Sarah Ferguson, were noticeably absent.
Other royals at the service included Prince William and Kate Middleton, along with their three kids: Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7.
The service at St Mary Magdalene Church in Norfolk is an annual event, with the royal family strolling outside, greeting well-wishers and accepting gifts.
Neither Beatrice nor Eugenie brought their children to the service.
Earlier this month, the duo declined Kate Middleton’s invitation to attend her annual Christmas carol service.
Eugenie revealed their absence via Instagram Stories as she reshared the Prince and Princess of Wales’ post about the event.
“Wish Bea and I could have been celebrating tonight with our family,” she wrote.
“Wishing @princeandprincessofwales such a special evening at her incredible carol service,” she continued. “What an amazing message of love and hope.”
Her and Beatrice’s Christmas appearance comes on the heels of a brutal few weeks for their parents.
In October, Andrew was stripped of his titles due to his alleged involvement with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Virginia Guiffre, an Epstein sex trafficking victim, long claimed that she had been forced to sleep with Andrew when she was just 17.
Andrew vehemently denied the accusation. However, he paid Guiffre, who died by suicide in April at age 41, a multi-million dollar settlement in 2022.
A newly released 2021 email from the Epstein files reveals that Mountbatten-Windsor allegedly asked his pal, Epstein accomplice and convicted sex-trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, if she had “found me some new inappropriate friends.”
Since Ferguson also had ties to Epstein, visiting him in New York and accepting loans, the former Duchess of York was stripped of her title as well.
Eugenie and Beatrice still maintain their titles.
The estranged couple are being evicted from the Royal Lodge, where they have lived together for many years.
Andrew’s last public appearance was earlier this month when he attended the christening of his granddaughter Athena, Beatrice’s daughter, at the Chapel Royal in St. James’ Palace.
He was spotted sneaking in through a side gate to evade the media gathered outside the front entrance.
