King Charles III plans to strip Princes Harry, Andrew of official role

Prince Harry and Prince Andrew could be cut from their role as official stand-ins to King Charles III should he become incapacitated – as the monarch looks to clean up the royal house. The newly installed monarch is planning to amend a law that determines who can act as his deputy in the event of his indisposition, according to reports from The Sunday Telegraph. Under the 1937 Regency Act, the spouse of a monarch and the next four adults in line to the throne can be summoned to act as Counsellors of State on official business. The King reportedly wants to ensure only working members of the Royal Family can serve in the role – which would exclude Prince Harry, Prince Andrew, and his daughter Princess Beatrice.
