Prince Andrew is reportedly considering renouncing his place in the line of succession to avoid jail time after his arrest.
The royal family stripped Andrew of most titles, but his place in succession was not immediately removed, per the report.
Insiders told Shuter that Andrew seeks guarantees for his daughters’ royal titles and a grace-and-favor home if he renounces.
Sources say the Crown would not rescue Andrew financially if he faces prison.
The reports indicate the Palace may avoid public photo-ops and private visits should Andrew be jailed.
The arrest occurred on February 19, Andrew’s 66th birthday, on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
Stylistic commentary notes Andrew’s removal from royal privileges without fully cutting him from the line of succession.
Shuter’s Naughty But Nice Substack is cited as a key source for the renunciation claim.
The article notes the broader context of the royal family’s ongoing handling of Andrew’s status amid legal scrutiny.
The piece mentions that the family has no plans for public appearances or visits if Andrew is jailed.
