Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, as the former prince is now known, will not be formally removed from the line of succession, the UK government has confirmed. Political reporter Kate Whannel explains why the late Queen Elizabeth's second son will remain eighth in line to the throne. Meanwhile, royal correspondent Sean Coughlan has the latest on why Andrew may not be leaving his 30-room mansion in Windsor until the new year. These are the properties he could live in instead. And culture reporter Noor Nanji details why Andrew's ex-wife Sarah Ferguson and their daughters, princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, can't escape the taint of family scandal. It all comes after weeks of intense scrutiny over Andrew's links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and on Friday, a further email from the former prince to Epstein was released in the US. - BBC
