Princess Beatrice (36) has changed her Christmas plans due to medical advice. Initially, she had planned to spend the holidays in Italy with her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi (41), and his family.
Princess Beatrice stays in the UK for Christmas
However, due to her pregnancy, Princess Beatrice has been advised against long journeys, as reported by 'People' and others. Instead, she will celebrate with her family at Sandringham, the traditional Christmas residence of the British royals.
According to 'Hello!' magazine, Beatrice will be joined by her husband Edoardo, their three-year-old daughter Sienna, and her stepson Wolfie (8).
While Beatrice will be at Sandringham, it’s unlikely she will attend church on Christmas Day, as she is focusing on her health.

Sandringham has long been the royal family’s Christmas residence. King Charles III (76) will host the celebrations, with many royal family members expected to attend. Prince William (42) recently mentioned that he expects around 45 family members to gather in one room.
Absence of Andrew and Eugenie
While Beatrice and her family will be in Sandringham, some members of the York family will be absent. Prince Andrew (64), Beatrice's father, will not attend due to ongoing controversies. Princess Eugenie (34), Beatrice’s sister, is also expected to be absent, as she is said to have accepted an invitation from her in-laws.
