The Government is considering introducing legislation to remove Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the line of succession, LBC understands. Downing Street sources have told this broadcaster that ministers are seeking to implement the laws once the police investigation into the former prince has concluded. Andrew was arrested at his home on suspicion of misconduct in public office on Thursday morning. A heavy police presence continues to be seen at his former home Royal Lodge and his current address on the Royal estate at Sandringham, with the force confirming that searches will continue until Monday. LBC understands that any changes to the line of succession will require consultation and agreement with the other countries in the Commonwealth. Matthew Wright is joined by LBC's reporter Guy Stewart and historian Dr Ed Owens to discuss.
