Like Harry and Meghan, Prince Andrew spent Christmas away from the spotlight.
According to People magazine, the embattled royal — who has made headlines following his controversial TV interview regarding Jeffrey Epstein — attended the 9 a.m. service at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene with brother Prince Charles and mother Queen Elizabeth.
While the royals traditionally attend the 11 a.m. service, Andrew kept a low profile and avoided members of the public in attending the earlier service.
