Could Prince Andrew Be Removed From the Line of Succession Across Realms?

TL;DR Summary
The article explains that removing Prince Andrew from the UK and Commonwealth line of succession is legally possible but would require a coordinated, multi-parliament process across realms. It traces how changes to succession have happened before (UK’s 2013 reform and post‑1920 dominion adjustments) and outlines how Australia and other realms would need to pass matching legislation to maintain a unified throne. Unilateral action by a single realm is unlikely given constitutional constraints and the need for cross‑realm agreement to avoid fracturing the shared monarchies.
