When did that actually happen? Last I saw, he was just agreeing not to use them publically
He was born 2nd in line, now he’s about 8th in line
So still in line for the throne. He’s 8th because other people were born ahead of him in the succession, not because the monarchy demoted him or something
I did. I found the 30th October 2025 statement from the royal family saying they had “initiated a formal process” to do so, and Andrew’s corresponding one agreeing not to publically use the titles, but nothing since. So what am I missing?
On 5 November 2025, the London Gazette included a notice which stated that:
THE KING has been pleased by Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the Realm dated 3 November 2025 to declare that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor shall no longer be entitled to hold and enjoy the style, title or attribute of “Royal Highness” and the titular dignity of “Prince”.
For a lot of historical reasons, there isn’t a simple way to remove him from succession. Succession is strictly governed and codified. It would take an act of parliament to remove him from the list.
Which seems like a lot of work when he’s 8th in line. It’s practically impossible for him to get the throne and frankly parliament has better things to do.
It’s not that I think there is an easy way, it’s just that I don’t think that his position in the line of succession is a meaningful response to whether or not he is in it in this context
i don’t believe it’s currently possible for king charlie to “demote” or remove succession, but they’re looking at changing that due to andrew’s… misdeeds.
No, I don’t think there is. I was only saying that in response to the claim that he’s now 8th in line - yes, he is, but not because of any actual intention from the monarchy

Fair enough, thanks! I’ll edit my initial comment

Maybe it would be worth an act of parliament to finally get rid of the monarchy once and for all.
