Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor will reportedly see King Charles III and Prince William at the christening of
Princess Beatrice's daughter
Athena. "As with any royal christening, members of the extended family will be there, so I imagine King Charles,
Queen Camilla, Prince William and
Kate Middleton will have been invited," His Majesty's former butler
Grant Harrold told Reach via
The Mirror.

Tensions might be high after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's public downfall. "It will be very awkward for certain members of the family, especially King Charles III and Prince William. They made the decision to strip Andrew of his titles, so the reunion will be very awkward. It's a very, very tricky situation," Grant Harrold said.

Although Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is banished from major royal events, he can't miss this one. "Of course, as the new arrival's grandfather, Andrew will likely have a key role — even if there are reports that his relationship with [Princess] Beatrice isn't strong at the moment," Grant Harrold continued.

While King Charles III and Prince William reportedly don't want to be around Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Princess Beatrice comes first. "It's possible that senior members of the family will keep a distance. Conversations will happen in advance, as they won't want anything to go wrong on the day," Grant Harrold said. "But the King and William are still extremely close to Beatrice and they will want to be part of this special occasion."

Despite any squabbles, King Charles III, Prince William and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor will likely ensure they don't upstage Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. "At the end of the day, this is Princess Beatrice and Edo's day — nobody will want personal drama to cause any upset," Grant Harrold added.

As Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor prepares to move, royal correspondent
Jennie Bond thinks he's resentful toward The Firm. "I'm sure he's feeling
humiliated and, by all accounts, angry. You have to remember that he has consistently protested his innocence," she told
The Mirror about the misconduct allegations against him. "Therefore, he feels wronged. But the reality is he now has just a few weeks left before he has to leave Royal Lodge, which has been his home for more than 20 years."
