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.
