I think it would be difficult because all the heads of state in commonwealth countries would need to agree ( that's what I read anyway!) ...but not impossible

Kandinsky

Considering the chances of him ever becoming king are less than zero I can’t see the point.

That’s true, the chances of him ever becoming King, but it remains a bad look that he’s still in the succession line.

I think it should be removed, definitely.

Where that leaves Bea and Eugenie, I’m not sure.

The House Of York still stands, despite all the hoo haa.

Andrew Lownie, the author of ‘Entitled’, thinks they should voluntarily give up their titles, (not be ‘stripped’ of them), and I think that would be an appropriate thing to do, and probably welcomed by the senior royals.

They are married women, mothers, and they don’t need to be defined by being princesses any longer.

That gesture would give them credibility amongst all the mess their parents have created.

They need to wait until the court case is sorted, I believe.

If they started removing it now, it would look like a complete admission of his ‘wrongdoings’, and wouldn’t be deemed very fair.

I can hardly believe I read that they’re ‘considering’ it. Yes, I know it will take an Act of Parliament, but to be ‘considering’ it - why don’t they just get on and DO it? How many MPs would actually vote against it?
