    For a lot of historical reasons, there isn’t a simple way to remove him from succession. Succession is strictly governed and codified. It would take an act of parliament to remove him from the list.

    Which seems like a lot of work when he’s 8th in line. It’s practically impossible for him to get the throne and frankly parliament has better things to do.

      It’s not that I think there is an easy way, it’s just that I don’t think that his position in the line of succession is a meaningful response to whether or not he is in it in this context
