Harry to be removed from the line of succession?

[Thinkingabouttherapy]

Apparently this has been discussed at the Balmoral summit: an act of parliament to remove Harry and his heirs from the line of succession as they are no longer U.K. residents or working royals. Makes sense to me - I doubt many people would object. Don’t the Swedish royals have a similar rule? They only keep their titles & place in succession if they live in Sweden? Handy precedent there.

This has been talked about a fair bit on other forums, I do agree though but I'll believe it when I see it,

Does that mean Andrew would move back up the ladder?

I'd just leave it.
It'll just give them more ammunition for their never ending victimhood narrative.
Meghan will make speeches to unsuspecting African and South American nations about this injustice and Harry will probably have a Netflix series on that alone and how downtrodden he is, yada yada.
Just leave them to be ever more irrelevant and ludicrous.

Hmmm. There’s lots of “may have been”
and could be’s in that article, so I suspect it’s a lot of guesswork. However, I would agree that if Harry doesn’t want to be a working Royal, he and his children remaining in the line of succession doesn’t make much sense. I mean, it would look a bit odd if he changed his mind just because circumstances aligned and he was offered the top job 😆

He's not a working Royal.

Also not a good idea to remove Harry's children for political reasons.

I'm not giving credence to any headline that uses " royal revenge plot" .

They are probably most likely to wait until he is really desperate for funds and then reward him for having the common sense to “voluntarily” surrender titles and role in succession. If either meant anything to him, why leave the country and publicly embarrass the institution? All concerned would be better off if Harry made a fresh start as a free agent.

Yes, perhaps it’s designed to stir up pity for Harry, who knows?

TBF it’s just a starting point for a discussion about whether H should remain in the line of succession. I say he’s already voted with his feet.

Too true. "Revenge" 😂

Possibly @Thinkingabouttherapy , it's certainly written in a way that seems a tad gossipy?

I think Harry should be removed, as he's no longer a resident of the U.K. .

But others may have different opinions.

With William having three children it's all academic - Harry is never going to be king and the order of succession doesn't really mean anything.

I'm quite sure as the RF gather for their summer hols 'summit' they are having a good old bitching sesh. But that's all it is.

It would require an Act of Parliament to alter the line of succession.

No way are the Labour government going to squander parliamentary time in this.

It's just another click bait article.

@Thinkingabouttherapy the trouble is that the titles are everything to them. Their whole lifestyle is about being royal and having royal connections.
What are they without them?.

I think the trouble is they're doing the quasi royal tours, but I'd let them get on with it. They're pointless.

If they are removed from the line of succession it isn't going to stop them.

It will also make the Royals look worse in the eyes of other countries particularly those in the Commonwealth.

And as a PP said the Labour government won't go near it.

True. As I said it'll just perpetuate the whinging.
I'd leave them to get on with their nonsense.

I agree. Harry will just be increasingly irrelevant.
Their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet will, I suspect, have no connection to the UK or their royal relatives.

Andrew’s in the line to the throne.

As far as I know it needs an act of parliament to remove someone from the line of succession. The whole thing is based on a blood line that cannot be messed with, because it’s ordained by god, etc. Living abroad or not working are neither here nor there.

It would be v bad optics to remove Harry and not Andrew, or Harry’s kids and not Andrews - would smack of racism apart from anything else.

So I would call bullshit on that.

It's very important for Harry and Meghan to be in the headlines, so it could be from them?
Disclaimer; I've no idea, but it wouldn't surprise me.

I cannot see this holding water, it really doesn’t seem the time. I know there supporters see them as living their best life and “winning” but I see them becoming less important by the day. When you resort to buying publicity left right and centre things aren’t great.

I'd leave it if I were them, and just take good care of the ones who come before him! If they were all to turn to job down I imagine we'd ditch the monarchy altogether.

It might not mean anything in terms of William and his heirs but it is a huge publicity, money and PR getter for Harry. He should most definitely be removed, as should Andrew.

It's silly season and we have gone back to the old stories that are BS. (Now politicians are generally behaving.)

As there is nothing on the royals some of the media have to dig up old rumours.

But he is not likely to be a candidate anyway. So why the fuss.
Wills has 3 kids at front of the line.

I agree that while it doesn’t make
much sense for Harry to remain in the line of succession, removing him would
only add to the waaagh fest. Maybe it would be worth stipulating that if any future working member of the RF moves abroad, they will automatically lose their place 🤷‍♀️
