Description

Quotation/Reference: He remains a prince, a title assigned from birth as the son of a monarch. But constitutional expert Craig Prescott says Andrew's title of "prince" could also be theoretically removed by a legal document issued by monarchs, called Letters Patent. If he ceased to be a prince and as he is no longer Duke of York, he would become Andrew Windsor.

Andrew could also be expelled from his place in the line of succession to the throne, where he is currently eighth in line. Parliament could remove him, according to the House of Commons Library, but it would require the consent of all the Commonwealth countries which has the King as head of state.
