Prince Andrew attends granddaughter's christening. King Charles absent

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor made his first royal appearance since losing his titles in October, attending his granddaughter Athena's christening at St James's Palace on Friday morning. The former prince arrived discreetly in a Range Rover via a side entrance to avoid media attention. King Charles was notably absent despite receiving an invitation, and no senior royals attended the private ceremony. This marks his first royal event since the Duchess of Kent's funeral in September.
