Calls for Andrew to be removed from royal line of succession
– Calls have intensified for Andrew, the former Duke of York, to be removed from the royal line of succession amid ongoing scrutiny and controversy surrounding his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
– He currently remains eighth in line to the throne, meaning he is still legally eligible to become king, though public and political pressure continues to mount.
– The developments come as critics argue for a formal removal from the succession, while supporters advocate for focusing on other royal duties and the future of the monarchy.
