Parliament weighs removing Prince Andrew from the line of succession after police inquiry

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.

UK weighs bill to bar Prince Andrew from royal succession

Britain's government is weighing a bill to remove Prince Andrew from the line of royal succession, barring him from ever becoming king and taking effect only with royal assent and eventual approval by Commonwealth realms. The move follows his stripping of titles last October and ongoing police investigations, with searches at Royal Lodge continuing. Lib Dems and SNP support the measure, while some Labour MPs are less convinced; removing him would also end his role as counsellor of state, per the House of Commons Library. The last changes to the line were in 2013 and 1936.
