King Charles III plans to sideline Prince Harry, Andrew as royal stand-ins: Report

London/IBNS: British King Charles III is planning to extend the pool of royals allowed to act for him in his absence, however, sidelining non-working royals Prince Harry and the Duke of York Prince Andrew, media reports said Thursday.

King Charles is expected to amend the "Regency Act" to add his brother Edward, the Earl of Wessex, and his sister Anne, the Princess Royal, The Daily Telegraph and the BBC reported, quoting sources.

According to The Telegraph, the amendments could go before parliament "within weeks", quoting "royal insiders" as saying it was a "logical step".

Buckingham Palace has not commented officially.

Currently the list of royals who can temporarily take over on behalf of the 73-year-old monarch if he is away or ill only includes Charles's wife Camilla, heir to the throne Prince William, Harry, Andrew and his daughter Beatrice, who is not even a working royal.

A longer list would allow the Palace to bypass Harry, who has quit as a working royal and lives in the US.

Meanwhile, Prince Andrew has retired from public life over his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and allegations of sex with a minor.
