Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was stripped of all of his royal titles, styles and honours in a dramatic decision by the King in October.

While he is no longer a Prince or the Duke of York, and has lost his HRH style, leaving him with the status of a commoner, Andrew remains eighth in line to the throne.

It's a highly unlikely scenario that the former Duke, 65, would ever be on the verge of becoming monarch, but there have been calls to bring in legislation to stop any chance, however remote, of him becoming King.

At the time of the King's decision, Downing Street said there were no plans for legislative changes, when asked about potentially making it easier to strip peerages in the future or remove Andrew from the line of succession.
