Both Prince Harry and Prince Andrew are no longer active royalty, but under British law they serve as advisors of state.

This means that if Prince Charles is unable to attend to various royal duties, they can act in his place, as he did for the last years of his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

According to the Express, Viscount Stansgate said in the House of Lords that it may be time for the British government to propose "amendments" to the 1937 Regency Act, which serves to "bring the King closer" and keep Harry and Andrew as advisors of state with Prince William.

"I think that's a very polite way of saying things are under consideration," said ITV correspondent Jonathan Swain (via Express).

"There are reports that the Queen and then-Prince Charles discussed this over the summer."

"With all the political turmoil that has been going on in the last few days, I think the royal family is looking at all of this and trying to tie up loose ends on the constitution."

What this means is that Prince Harry and Prince Andrew may be removed from the royal family's official duties even more than they are now.

Recall, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle decided to step down from their royal duties in 2020. They subsequently ceased to use the designation "HRH," and Harry was stripped of his honorary military title.

Prince Andreu, by contrast, was stripped of his honorary military title and royal duties after his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein came to light.
