King Charles III discreetly made a change to an act to prevent both Prince Andrew and Prince Harry from acting as substitutes for him when he took to the throne.
The 75 year old monarch, who became King following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022, added both his sister, Princess Anne, and brother, Prince Edward, to the list of family members who can act for him in the Counsellors of State Act 2022.
The change effectively banned both Andrew, 63, and Harry, 39, from stepping in for the King. Both Andrew and Harry are still Counsellors of State - members of the Royal Family who can carry out duties for the monarch if he is ill or abroad - despite no longer being working royals.
