If legislation were to be introduced, it would also require an Act of Parliament to be approved by MPs and peers.
The BBC reports that it would then need to be supported by all other Commonwealth countries that have King Charles as their head of state.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has not commented on his arrest yesterday, which coincided with his 66th birthday.
He was photographed returning to Wood Farm, his temporary home on the Sandringham Estate, last night after over 10 hours in police custody.
King Charles released a statement yesterday after hearing about Andrew’s arrest, which the monarch was reportedly not pre-warned about.
The King’s statement read: “I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office. What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities.
“In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation. Let me state clearly: the law must take its course.
“As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all. Charles R.”
