Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson are persona non grata.<\/p>\n

The disgraced Duke of York and his ex-wife have been made aware that King Charles will not be looking to invite them to spend Christmas with the royal family this year, according to a new report.<\/p>\n

The duo, who reside together at Royal Lodge despite divorcing in 1996, have been kept at an arm\u2019s length from the royals due to Andrew\u2019s countless scandals over the years<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, it seems as though the monarch, 76, has had enough of drama plaguing the Firm\u2019s reputation as he has indicated that the Yorks will not be receiving invitations to festivities this year, the Times of London reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t sack someone from being your brother,\u201d a source told the outlet.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut this year, if the duke and duchess were both to be as honorable [as last year], it would be very much for the best and the family would not be disappointed, not least to avoid the King having to make any more difficult decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The insider added that Charles would like the duo to remain \u201cinvisible\u201d at future family events from here on out.<\/p>\n

\"Questions<\/p>\n

As a result, friends of the Duchess of York told the outlet that she was \u201cdevastated for any embarrassment\u201d caused in recent months, and plans to \u201cexplain herself to the wider royal family in due course.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Christmas will mirror last year\u2019s festivities<\/a> for the Yorks, as they were blacklisted from the royal celebrations over Andrew\u2019s Chinese spy scandal<\/a> that sent shockwaves behind palace doors.<\/p>\n

Both Andrew and Sarah spent Christmas Day at their residence, located on the grounds of Windsor Castle, without their two daughters Beatrice and Eugenie.<\/p>\n

Andrew was seen smiling and shaking hands with fellow attendees at the ceremony, which was also attended by senior members of the royal family.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe King is not of the mind to banish someone worshipping at church or attending family occasions like a funeral,\u201d a source told the outlet.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut he would hope they would find a more discreet way of attending these events. In the Duke of York\u2019s case, he seems to relish the prospect of not being low-key about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
