He made his first appearance at a royal engagement earlier this month, but there was no sign of Princess Beatrice’s son Wolfie at the royal outing to church at Sandringham on Christmas Day.
In fact, Christopher, known as ‘Wolfie’, seven, swapped real-life princesses for fairytale ones on a Disney cruise ship with his mother, architect Dara Huang, 40, Richard Eden reports.
The two then joined Dara’s family in Florida, where she grew up.
Last Christmas, Wolfie stayed in Norfolk with his stepmother Bea, father, property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and his half-sister Sienna, two.

Wolfie didn’t miss out on all the royal festivities, though, as he attended the Together At Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey earlier this month with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Wolfie has previously been kept out of the public eye, but proudly walked hand-in-hand with Beatrice into Westminster Abbey on Friday. Beatrice has previously described Wolfie as a ‘bonus child’ while Sarah Ferguson refers to him as her grandson.
Last year, he joined the King and Queen on their walk to church at Sandringham on Christmas Day.
Dara Huang was engaged to interior designer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 39, before he married the King’s niece Princess Beatrice, 34.

Miss Huang, 39, was born and grew up in America, to where her maternal grandfather had emigrated from Taiwan. She was granted British citizenship earlier this year.
The Harvard-educated architect who grew up in Florida, has an undergraduate degree from the University of Florida and transferred to the Ivy League school for her Masters in Architecture.
Edoardo was previously engaged to Dara for three-and-a-half years before they split in 2018, a year before he proposed to Princess Beatrice.
Due to the pandemic, Beatrice and Edoardo tied the knot on July 17, 2020 in a low-key ceremony at The Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor, with the lat Queen and Prince Philip in attendance and Wolfie acting as best man.
Beatrice and Edoardo had their daughter Sienna Elizabeth in September last year. Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s firstborn daughter Beatrice gave birth to baby girl Sienna weighing 6lbs 2oz at 11.42pm at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, in London.
Edo and Dara share custody of their son Christopher Woolf – known as Wolfie – and Dara is understood to remain on good terms with her ex and his wife, who is a hands-on stepmother.
When Beatrice married property developer Edo in 2020, she became the first royal step-parent among the young generation of royals.
Miss Huang has previously voiced her relief that the seven-year-old will be educated in Britain rather than America, where she fears he could have become yet another victim of a school shooting.
‘I’m glad my son doesn’t go to school in the USA,’ Dara declared online. ‘I can sleep at night knowing he won’t die at his desk tomorrow morning.’
