Prince Andrew Was Heckled at the Queen's Funeral Procession - The Cut

If you’re curious about what’s next for the queen’s favorite son, now that she is no longer around to protect him, Monday’s funeral procession in Scotland provided a glimpse. Prince Andrew, who has spent the past few years clumsily addressing his alleged involvement in his friend Jeffrey Epstein’s underage trafficking ring, was walking behind his mother’s coffin when someone yelled out, “Andrew, you’re a sick old man!”

The heckler was subsequently arrested and gave a brief but compelling statement while sitting in handcuffs under police supervision, telling a reporter that “powerful men shouldn’t be allowed to commit sexual crimes and get away with it.”

It’s true that despite recently paying a multimillion-dollar sex-abuse settlement related to his links to Epstein, Andrew has otherwise experienced few consequences. He was stripped of his royal and military titles in January after a Manhattan judge ruled that Virginia Giuffre’s sexual-assault lawsuit against him could move forward; therefore, he was the only one of the queen’s children not wearing a military uniform during Monday’s procession. But the queen also offered him all sorts of protection, including a place to hide from attorneys trying to serve him court papers, a spot on the palace’s payroll, and even the occasional public appearance. Something tells me there are plenty more hecklers waiting in the wings.

Elizabeth Hurley said it was a "nightmare" working with Matthew Perry on their 2002 film "Serving Sara," which was shot at the height of his drug addiction.  The production had to be abruptly shut down because the "Friends" star needed to enter rehab for two months.  Still, the "Royals" actress doesn’t hold it against Perry, who detailed his addiction struggles in his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."  Hurley recently told Yahoo! Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her
