Following his arrest, calls are growing for former Prince Andrew to be cut from the British line of succession.
As the late Queen Elizabeth II’s second son, Prince Andrew was second in line to the throne at birth in 1960, behind his brother, now King Charles III.
He has since dropped to eighth in the line of succession, behind Princess Lilibet, making any path to the throne highly unlikely.
Now, Mountbatten-Windsor is facing growing calls to be removed from the line of succession altogether.
Parliament would need to pass a law to remove him from the line of succession.
Because King Charles is head of state in 14 other Commonwealth realms, those countries would also need to agree, as any change would affect their own lines of succession, the BBC reports.
