The British government is analyzing the possibility of introducing a law to remove Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the line of succession to the throne of the United Kingdom. This measure is expected to be implemented after the completion of the police investigation, in which Andrew was arrested on suspicion of abuse of power. Although his titles have been stripped, he remains eighth in the line of succession.
The proposal has gained support from some parliamentarians, including from the Liberal Democrat Party and SNP, while others from the Labour Party believe it is unnecessary. Any change to the succession would require the approval of Parliament and 14 Commonwealth countries. Andrew stepped back from public duties in 2019, following controversies related to his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
