Andrew Windsor suffers another huge humiliation in latest public ‘stripping’

Andrew Windsor has had pretty much everything stripped from him in recent months, and now the latest public one has happened . . . but it’s not all bad news for Andy

Andrew Windsor has suffered a new blow – with a wild upside for him and him alone. Having having all roles stripped, and his Royal titles, the disgraced former Prince has had his last visible title taken off him as the Jeffrey Epstein scandal continues.

On the Royal Family’s online list of succession, he was until yesterday still listed as “Prince Andrew”. But now the newly-updated list refers to him only as “Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor,”and keeps him in eighth position on the table, despite leaks claiming there was a plan to remove him via a hitman . . .

While many had (wrongly) assumed he would be taken out of the line, Andrew remaining on it has now been confirmed he could indeed be confirmed as King one day. Despite many wanting Andrew removed from the line of succession, it’s not actually that simple (because why would it be in the UK?).

Removing him from the line of succession is an incredibly complex legal process, and would require a new Act of Parliament in the UK, which would also need the consent of all 14 other Commonwealth realms where King Charles is Head of State.

The UK government has stated it has no current plans to introduce such legislation – so for the time being, if the seven people above him on the list either die, or give up their positions on the list, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor could in theory, one day, be King.

The full line of succession currently stands as follows:

1. The Prince of Wales
2. Prince George of Wales
3. Princess Charlotte of Wales
4. Prince Louis of Wales
5. The Duke of Sussex
6. Prince Archie of Sussex
7. Princess Lilibet of Sussex
8. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor
9. Princess Beatrice, Mrs. Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi
10. Miss Sienna Mapelli Mozzi
11. Miss Athena Mapelli Mozzi
12. Princess Eugenie, Mrs. Jack Brooksbank
13. Master August Brooksbank
14. Master Ernest Brooksbank
15. The Duke of Edinburgh
16. Earl of Wessex
17. The Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor
18. The Princess Royal
19. Mr. Peter Phillips
20. Miss Savannah Phillips
21. Miss Isla Phillips
22. Mrs. Michael Tindall
23. Miss Mia Tindall
24. Miss Lena Tindall
25. Master Lucas Tindall
