Canadian Prime Minister Supports Removal of Andrew from Line of Succession

The Canadian prime minister has joined other Commonwealth leaders in supporting the removal of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the line of succession. Mark Carney, former governor of the Bank of England, criticized the former prince’s behavior as “deplorable” and stated that his actions warrant his removal. Despite being eighth in line to the throne, the possibility of Andrew becoming King is seen as unlikely, but leaders believe it is a matter of principle. Calls for his removal intensified after his arrest last month, with New Zealand also expressing support for his removal.
