ANDREW may now have commoner status after being stripped of his titles, but could technically still become king.

- BY JENNIFER NEWTON

Despite losing titles including Prince, Duke of York, and his HRH status, Andrew is still eighth in the line to the throne.

He sits behind Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet and is still listed as occupying the spot on the official Royal Family website.

When he was born in 1960 as the second son of the late Queen, he was second in line, but has slowly slipped down the ranking.
