Prince Andrew (now styled Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor) is currently eighth in the line of succession to the British throne.

Quick Scoop: Where He Sits Now

As of late 2025 and into 2026, the official line of succession places him in the eighth spot, despite losing his royal titles and public duties. Those ahead of him are:

  1. Prince William, Prince of Wales.
  1. Prince George of Wales.
  1. Princess Charlotte of Wales.
  1. Prince Louis of Wales.
  1. Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex.
  1. Prince Archie of Sussex.
  1. Princess Lilibet of Sussex.
  1. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew, Duke of York).

Why He’s Still There

  • Losing his titles did not automatically change the hereditary succession rules.
  • To remove him from the line of succession would require an Act of Parliament plus agreement of all the Commonwealth realms where King Charles III is monarch.
  • The UK government has repeatedly indicated it has no current plans to legislate him out of the succession, which is why he remains listed.

In other words: his public role has shrunk dramatically, but his legal place in the line of succession is still intact at number eight.

TL;DR: Prince Andrew is still eighth in line to the throne; changing that would need complex legislation across the UK and multiple Commonwealth countries, and there are no active plans to do so.
