SARAH Ferguson was today seen on the royal family’s annual Christmas service walk for the first time in 30 years.

Prince Andrew’s ex-wife walked beside the shamed duke after they left St Mary Magdalene's Church on the Sandringham Estate.

The royal family this morning greeted well-wishers outside the church before heading back to Sandringham for a Christmas feast.

Snaps showed Prince Andrew hanging awkwardly to one side while the other royals smiled and waved to fans.

Andrew is allegedly "totally tormented" as his name is "set to appear" in an unsealed document related to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, it has been claimed.

But Fergie, who last month presented This Morning, kept her head held high as she walked by his side and waved at fans.
