Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, has called for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to be removed from the royal line of succession over his “deplorable” links to the late convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.
The former duke was arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office following allegations he shared sensitive information with the paedophile financier while serving as the UK’s trade envoy.
Speaking to reporters in Tokyo, Carney said: “I certainly think his actions are deplorable and have caused him to be stripped of his royal titles, certainly merit, if that’s the word — necessitate is a better word — his removal from the line of succession.”
The former governor of the Bank of England, added: “Even though he is well down the line, the point of principle stands.”
Andrew has denied any wrongdoing over his links to the convicted sex offender, but has not directly responded to the latest allegations.
