where is andrew in line to the throne
Prince Andrew (now styled Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor) is currently eighth in line to the British throne.
Quick Scoop: Where Andrew Sits Now
Even though he has lost his royal titles and the style “His Royal Highness,” his actual place in the line of succession has not changed.
- He is still 8th in line to the throne.
- Official updates and major outlets continue to list him in that same position.
- The key point: losing titles and honours is separate from losing succession rights.
A simplified snapshot of his situation:
Person| Status (titles)| Place in succession*
---|---|---
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor| No longer a prince or Duke of York| 8th in line
*Numbering beyond him can shift slightly as new royal babies are born, but his relative position (eighth) is what’s important here.
Why He’s Still in Line
Removing someone from the line of succession isn’t just a palace decision; it requires an Act of Parliament plus agreement from the Commonwealth realms where the monarch is head of state. That kind of legal step has not been taken for Andrew, which is why he remains in the line despite the scandals and the loss of his titles.
