Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has reportedly called for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to be removed from the British line of succession, according to Swedish media reports. Carney stated that the former prince's "deplorable" actions make it necessary to strike him from the succession list. Australia and New Zealand have previously expressed similar views regarding the removal of Andrew from the royal succession order.
Despite losing his prince title, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor remains eighth in line to the British throne. The question of succession has been raised following his arrest earlier this year, with the Labour government reportedly considering changes to the line of succession. Canada is one of 14 countries in the British Commonwealth that must approve any decision to alter the succession, which would also require approval from both houses of the British Parliament.
