Prince William ‘frustrated by the delay in Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s removal’

UK ministers are debating removing Prince Andrew from succession and considering whether his daughters Beatrice and Eugenie should also be excluded amid ongoing investigation.

  • On Sunday, ministers confirmed they have not decided whether to remove Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie from the line of succession, amid discussions about Prince Andrew's potential removal.
  • Following Andrew's ousting, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have kept a very low profile and appeared under the protection of King Charles amid the ongoing investigation into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
  • Sources say the sisters were 'blindsided' when they were banned from this year's Royal Ascot in June, despite retaining their titles and patronages.
  • If Andrew were removed, Beatrice is ninth, followed by her daughters Sienna and Athena, and Eugenie is 12th, followed by her sons August and Ernest, which would alter their positions.
  • Ministers have not yet decided, but sources say the issue could resurface as Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie face restrictions at this year's Royal Ascot in June.
