Law change eyed to strip former prince from line of succession amid Epstein probe
TL;DR Summary
Keir Starmer's government is reportedly weighing legislation to remove Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the royal line of succession after police finish investigating him for misconduct in public office tied to Jeffrey Epstein; any change would require an Act of Parliament and consent from other monarchies, as MPs also weigh a possible inquiry into his role as trade envoy while police investigations and royal duties continue.
