Remove him from the royal order of succession, meaning that Andrew could technically become King. Obviously the chances of this happening are basically nil because he&#8217;s 8th in line to the throne\u2014coming after Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Prince Harry, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">&#8220;Given Andrew\u2019s ghastly behavior, his still being in the line of succession is \u2026 embarrassing at best,&#8221; royal expert Hilary Fordwich tells <em data-node-id=\"3.1\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/king-charles-kicked-andrew-out-cant-remove-disgraced-ex-royal-line-succession-experts\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/king-charles-kicked-andrew-out-cant-remove-disgraced-ex-royal-line-succession-experts\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Fox News\" data-node-id=\"3.1.0\" class=\"body-link css-103hk4r emevuu60\">Fox News<\/a><\/em>. &#8220;But in reality, he\u2019s so far down the line-behind the Sussex children-there\u2019s little risk of him ever becoming king. Nevertheless, there is concern that any ad hoc removal of unpopular royals could make the institution look more like a political machine than a stable hereditary monarchy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Hilary adds that &#8220;Much to the chagrin of Prince William, heir to the throne, as well as other senior royals and the public at large, Parliament has already signaled that it has no plans to legislate Andrew out of the succession. It would also require negotiations with the Commonwealth realms.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"recirculation\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-14\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-15\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Meanwhile, royal expert Helena Chard adds &#8220;It is unlikely he\u2019ll impact the line of succession, given the number of younger royals ahead of him. There would have to be something monumentally terrible to occur \u2014 a black swan event \u2014 for the crown to pass to Andrew.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-16\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-xmoip0 e94w1mj9\">\n<h6 class=\"css-as8qcb e94w1mj7\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-before\" class=\"css-0 eagam8p0\"\/><span class=\"css-8lle59 e94w1mj5\">Related Story<\/span><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-after\" class=\"css-0 eagam8p1\"\/><\/h6>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.cosmopolitan.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disgraced royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor will reportedly not be removed from the official order of succession.
