I can't see either PA or Stoat being stripped of anything. HM has just renewed the Frogspawn lease with him and the press say he's now domiciled here - I don't understand this as he allegedly lives in Montyshitto though of course we all know he doesn't live there. Maybe he's living in Frogspawn Villa, it's possible, but how strange that we don't know where he lives.
This is interesting from D. Mail today. I've cut out most of it.
"Crucially, however, the newly-published guidance says: ‘Under the 1937 Act, a Counsellor of State must be domiciled in “some part” of the UK.’
It adds: ‘The Regency Act 1943 added the discretionary provision that if it “appears to the Sovereign” that any eligible Counsellor will be “absent from the United Kingdom or intends to be so absent during the whole or any part of the period of such delegation”, then Letters Patent [a legal tool available to the monarch] “may make provision” for excepting that person.’
(I don't understand what's meant here by "excepting that person". Making an exception in that although domiciled here he can still be a CoS if absent for periods of time? This is clear as mud.)
Harry remains sixth in line to the throne but hasn’t lived in the UK since late 2019.
However, there is no provision under the Act to exclude a member of the family who is no longer a working royal, so long as they remain in the line of succession, so Andrew, who is ninth, could be called on to stand in.
Buckingham Palace said last night that there was ‘no change’ to the current Counsellors. An aide said suggested there were ‘no plans’ to change them.
Sources speculated the royal household may be concerned about the reaction from ‘across the pond’ if changes are made. ‘They could just be reluctant to poke the bear,’ they said."
