Media personality Piers Morgan has asked for the removal of ex-Prince Andrew from the line of succession following his arrest. On February 19, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested in connection to an investigation into the offense of "misconduct in public office." The former Duke of York served as a British trade envoy till 2011 and was accused of sharing confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein.Former Prince Andrew has faced criticism over his alleged ties with the late sex offender. After the fresh tranche of Epstein files was released by the US DOJ last month, several emails appeared that substantiated the allegations. Thames Valley Police began an investigation into King Charles' brother earlier this month and eventually arrested him on Thursday.Piers Morgan, who strongly demanded an inquiry into former Prince Andrew following the release of the Epstein files, reacted after the arrest. Morgan demanded that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's right to inherit the British throne should be taken away."It’s preposterous that shamed Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor remains 8th in line to the throne and makes an absolute mockery of the monarchy. He must be removed asap. Like, today," Morgan wrote.Piers Morgan @piersmorganLINKIt’s preposterous that shamed Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor remains 8th in line to the throne, and makes an absolute mockery of the Monarchy.
