Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie were a united front with the royal family on Christmas Day.

According to photos obtained by People on Thursday, December 25, the sisters made an appearance at Sandringham to attend church services at St. Mary Magdalene Church with King Charles III, Queen Camilla and the rest of the royals.

Meanwhile, their father, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew), and mother, Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson, were nowhere to be found.

Eugenie, 35, was accompanied by her husband, Jack Brooksbank. Beatrice, 37, was also seen with her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

Others in attendance, according to People, included Prince William, Princess Kate and their children as well as Princess Anne.

The sisters’ bold move to make a public appearance with the royal family — as Andrew, 65, and Fergie, 66, have been shut out — comes weeks after they were absent from the annual “Together at Christmas” carol service hosted by the Princess of Wales, 43.

“Wish Bea and I could have been celebrating tonight with our family,” Eugenie wrote above a picture of the invitation on her Instagram Story on December 5.

It was unclear what Beatrice and Eugenie would decide to do for the Christmas holiday amid their father Andrew’s public downfall.

On October 30, Buckingham Palace announced that the 77-year-old monarch stripped his brother of his royal titles and honors.

Andrew and his ex-wife were also asked to vacate Royal Lodge, where they’ve lived practically rent-free for years.

Though the former Duke of York has never been charged with any crime, he has long been connected to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and more damning allegations against Andrew have come to light following the release of Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir and parts of the Epstein files.

Andrew has consistently maintained his innocence and denied any wrongdoing.
