I mean Andrew is an extreme case. If he weren’t as out-of-favour I imagine nothing would have happened, and this has been _entirely_ forced by external information.

I assume that otherwise they would have less of an issue. It’s not like he married someone slight off-white, that would be real grounds for excommunication.

Andrew lost his title 'Prince' a while ago. At that point he wasn't a royalty in name anymore.

Took a long time though.
