King Charles had stripped Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of all his royal titles and honors and kicked him out of the Windsor estate of the Royal Lodge following the release of the Epstein files.
However, the rebellion continued as the public felt that it was not enough and that he too should be ousted from the line of succession. New Zealand and Australia were the first two Commonwealth countries to support the legislation required to implement the plans.
A new report by The Times claims that Andrew still has one more year to retain his eighth place in the series. However, the British Prime Minister and Buckingham Palace are working together on a plan to remove him from the line to the royal throne.
An Act of Parliament is needed to implement the plans with the approval of the 14 other kingdoms, which include Canada, Jamaica, the Bahamas, Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, the Solomon Islands and Tuvalu.
There are chilling allegations of sex crimes against him and his close ties to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. He was arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
Thames Valley Police are understood to be widening their investigation beyond the potential single offence, which could make it difficult for them to base a prosecution.
The Metropolitan Police is also working with the US to investigate claims that Andrew boarded the ‘Lolita Express’ via London airport.
Once the investigation is complete, the act of Parliament can be implemented. The last time the line of succession changed was in 2013 before the birth of William and Kate’s first child, ending the male primogeniture rule.
The update comes just days after Andrew was almost attacked by a man while walking his dog in Sandringham.
