Princess Beatrice joined other royals for the family's traditional walk to St. Mary Magdalene Church on the Sandringham estate. A source confirmed to PEOPLE earlier this week that Princess Beatrice canceled a trip to Italy to spend the holiday with her husband's family, making the change on medical advice.
The couple is expecting their second child together, and the palace previously said that Beatrice is due 'early in the new year.' Beatrice and Edo are parents to daughter Sienna Elizabeth, who was born in 2021. Princess Beatrice wore a belted tan coat over her growing bump, and placed a warm hand on Christopher Woolf's back as they all walked. When she and Edo, 41, wed in 2020, a source told PEOPLE that Beatrice was 'excited to start a family.' PEOPLE understands that Princess Beatrice had initially accepted an invitation to celebrate Christmas with her in-laws, and was the only member of the York family to join the King's Christmas festivities. Her father, Prince Andrew, seemed to be in good spirits as they drove to the palace lunch with their husbands, despite fallout around their father's alleged ties to the suspected Chinese 'spy.' Aligning with their decision not to join the royals at Christmas, the Duke and Duchess of York similarly skipped the festive feast amid backlash around the scandal. Royal biographer Ingrid Seward tells PEOPLE that Andrew would have discussed the decision with his daughters, who are protective and loyal to him. 'Despite missteps in the past, she does know how things will play out socially. She would tell him it’s best to stay away. And Beatrice would have backed her up in that,' Seward tells PEOPLE about Andrew opting out of the holiday luncheon
