Following public criticism and legal scrutiny, some British politicians have suggested that Andrew should be formally removed from the line of succession through legislation. For now, though, no such law has been passed, meaning he technically remains eighth in line.
The Next Generation of the Royal Family
After Andrew come his daughters and their children.
- Princess Beatrice
- Sienna Mapelli Mozzi (Beatrice’s daughter)
- Athena Mapelli Mozzi (Beatrice’s second daughter)
Beatrice’s younger sister, Princess Eugenie, follows next.
- Princess Eugenie
- August Brooksbank (her first son)
- Ernest Brooksbank (her second son)
These positions shifted slightly after the birth of Beatrice’s children, which pushed other members of the family further down the list.
Prince Edward and His Children
After Andrew’s branch of the family comes Prince Edward, the youngest sibling of King Charles.
He currently stands 15th in line.
His children follow him:
- James, Viscount Severn
- Lady Louise Windsor
Although Louise was born first, James is ahead of her in the line because he was born before the 2013 rule change that ended male-preference succession.
