For those of you who don’t know, Prince Andrew has been implicated in the Jeffrey Epstein scandals, and for those of you who don’t know, there are very specific laws for the line of succession in England, and even if she was as pissed off at Andrew as that (and also Charles for apparent inaction, as implied), she could not unilaterally remove anyone from the line of succession. That, and it turns out the Enquirer has done variations on this story, with claims of the Queen trying to plot a coup against Prince Charles, multiple times.
I am shocked and appalled that the National Enquirer would get something wrong.
Seriously, it isn't as if Andrew was ever going to be king anyway - he's eighth in line, and I don't think he's got the gumption required to arrange for the murders of his nephews and all their kids.
