The House of Lords examines plans to increase the number of royals who can act on the King's behalf.
By Sean CoughlanThe House of Lords has heard a call for the Duke of York and the Duke of Sussex to be removed from being stand-ins for King Charles III - and for the Princess Royal and Earl of Wessex to be added.But a Labour peer said Prince Andrew and Prince Harry, as non-working royals, should be taken off the list.
Lord True, the Lord Privy Seal, said the proposal was a "practical solution" necessary for the "machinery of government" - and suggested only working royals would be called upon in practice. Prince Andrew withdrew from royal duties in the wake of his association with US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. It is expected there will be overseas trips next year for the King, Queen Consort, Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales - and without a change, this could mean a lack of available stand-ins to act on behalf of the monarch.
