Canada also wants to remove Prince Andrew from the line of succession

Carney says the former prince's "deplorable" actions make it necessary to remove him from the succession list.

Australia and New Zealand have previously expressed the same view.

Despite losing his princely title, Andrew is still eighth in the British line of succession. Following his arrest earlier this year, the issue of succession to the throne has come to the fore, and the Labour government is considering changing the line of succession, according to the BBC.

Canada is one of 14 Commonwealth realms that must approve any decision. Before that, both houses of the British Parliament must vote on it.
