Parliament weighs removing Prince Andrew from the line of succession after police inquiry
TL;DR Summary
Ministers are reportedly weighing legislation to remove Prince Andrew from the line of succession once the police investigation concludes; MPs from several parties have urged action, with Labour and Lib Dems calling for removal and some advocating a wider debate on abolishing the monarchy. Any change would require an Act of Parliament and consent from other realms, and would also remove him as a counsellor of state.
