Camilla was ‘concerned’ Andrew row would impact on her work with abuse survivors
According to the Telegraph, Camilla was appalled by Andrew’s association with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein and felt the ongoing row was getting in the way of her public duties. The Telegraph reported the Queen was “deeply uncomfortable” about leading anti-abuse campaigns, including domestic abuse charity SafeLives of which she is patron, while Andrew remained a public figure. It appears the royal family is distancing itself from Andrew and attempting to limit any brand damage to the monarchy if future revelations involving him come to light. But there have been calls to bring in legislation to stop any chance, however remote, of him becoming King. Sarah Ferguson lived with her ex-husband Andrew at Royal Lodge but will not be housed by Charles and will have to find a new home.

Justin Baldoni misses court deadline in lawsuits against Blake Lively and NY Times as her demands are revealed
But now, that counterattack has collapsed — leaving Baldoni to face Lively’s sexual harassment lawsuit as the only case still standing. The Daily Mail has reached out to reps for Baldoni, Lively and Reynolds for further comment on the story. The storyline of the film centered around a toxic relationship between Lily Bloom (played by Lively) and Ryle Kincaid (Baldoni). In December last year, Lively named Baldoni in a lawsuit accusing him of sexual harassment, retaliatory conduct, and intentional infliction of emotional stress. In the suit, Baldoni named Lively, her spouse Ryan Reynolds and her publicist Leslie Sloane, citing the aforementioned report in legal documents.
