Prince Andrew and Prince Harry royal counsellor roles challenged

Summary by Ground News

Prince Andrew and Prince Harry are two of the King's five counsellors of state. They are authorised by law to carry out official duties for the monarch if he is unwell or travelling abroad. Viscount Stansgate questioned their status when one "left public life" and the other had "left the country." Lord Addington suggested that working royals - "somebody who actually undertakes royal duties" - should be given priority. Viscount Stansgate asked if there were any plans to amend the Regency Act.
