However, royal sources said that cancelling the lunch was “the best thing to do”. This was because it would put many people’s Christmas plans “at risk” if it went ahead.

It is believed that the Queen was going to be hosting 50 people, including Prince Andrew at Windsor Castle on Tuesday (December 22).

It was also recently reported that Prince William and Kate Middleton cancelled their plans too so that they can spend Christmas with the Queen.
