A vast majority of Canadians — including the prime minister — think that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, brother to King Charles III, should be removed from the line of succession to the crown. “My government would agree to any proposal to remove him from the line of royal succession,” Albanese wrote. Data collected by Angus Reid shows Canadians’ view of the monarchy over time. Removing Andrew from the line of royal succession would be more of a token gesture, since the 66-year-old is only eighth in line to the throne, after Prince William, his three children, Prince Harry, and his two children. The Angus Reid poll was conducted online from Feb. 24 to Feb. 26, 2026, among a randomized sample of 1,607 Canadian adults.
