Prince Andrew and Harry face being stripped of further prestigious roles ahead of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee
Buckingham Palace is set to remove the role of Counsellors of State from the duo, who are ninth and sixth in line to the throne respectfully.The pair are two of the four Counsellors of State, who would be called upon to take the place of the Queen if she were unable to carry out her duties because of illness or absence abroad.
A royal source told MailOnline: "It is a genuine problem that the Palace is looking to address. Can you imagine the Duke of York having to sign official documents, for example, because the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge were both abroad, and the Queen became ill? It's not an exaggeration to say it could put the monarchy in jeopardy.
The law, which was introduced in 1937, says the counsellors of state are the monarch's spouse and the next four people in the line of succession who are over the age of 21.Both Andrew and Harry have been stripped of their royal patronages and military titles amid the former's ongoing court battle and the latter's decision to quit 'The Firm' and move to North America with his wife Meghan Markle.
