Kate Middleton snubs King Charles plan about Prince Andrew

Princess of Wales Kate Middleton reportedly rejected her father-in-law King Charles suggestion to invite Prince Andrew to her Christmas carol concert.

This has been claimed by royal expert Ephraim Hardcastle in his column for the Daily Mail.

Kate Middleton held her annual "Together At Christmas" carol service earlier this month, and she was joined by Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis and other royals.

The future queen "did not invite" Prince Andrew or his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, to the Christmas carol service.

The insider claimed: "Suggestions that Andrew be invited to Kate's annual carol service, possibly seated behind a pillar, were rejected."

Ephraim Hardcastle has claimed suggestion to invite Andrew was put forward by King Charles as the monarch is insisting his disgraced brother be given "due status" after he was stripped of his royal duties.

However, the Princess of Wales reportedly "rejected" King Charles' suggestion.

"The King has done his best to bring Andrew back into the family fold and insists he is given due status. But William and Kate aren't sharing the love," the royal expert claimed.

"A mole whispers that for the second year running, suggestions that Andrew be invited to Kate's annual carol service, possibly seated behind a pillar, were rejected.

"Although very much a family affair, with 22 members of the extended tribe present, there was no space for Uncle Andy."
