Is Prince Harry still in line to the British throne?

Following his exit from the British royal family with wife Meghan Markle, Prince Harry left the world taken aback with some still perplexed about his future with the royals especially when it comes to the line of succession. 

While the Duke of Sussex has rocked the proverbial boat and is no longer representing Queen Elizabeth in a royal capacity, his position in the line of succession remains the same.

Harry, sixth in line to the British throne after father Prince Charles, brother Prince William and his children, will hold his position.

The succession is on the basis of the legislation which includes the Succession to the Crown Act that also takes account of the Act of Settlement. Therefore, the removal of someone from the line of the throne could only be possible through an Act of Parliament.

While he maintains his position, Harry was still ordered to repay £2.4 million of Sovereign Grant money that he had used to refurbish his and Meghan’s Frogmore Cottage home.

Harry and Meghan caught the world off guard in January this year, when they announced their intention to step back from frontline royal duties.
