"The most important thing right now is that the police be allowed to get on with their job, acting without fear or favour."

— Ed Davey , Politician

"Of course, if he’s found guilty of this, I think parliament would be well within its rights to act to remove him from the line of succession."

— Andrew Bowie , Politician

"From the evidence already held in the public domain, it is clear that his position as a counsellor of state and with succession rights are removed, as well as all titles."

— Rachael Maskell , Politician

"When the public are ready to have that national conversation about the monarchy, I think issues like this certainly don’t help the monarchy’s case."

— Zack Polanski , Activist

"But clearly this is an issue that Parliament is going to have to consider when the time is right, naturally the monarchy will want to make sure he can never become king."

— Sir Ed Davey , Politician

"All of these titles and positions need to be addressed, so we are just left with Andrew the citizen, and a citizen that is fully accountable."

— Rachael Maskell , Politician

"Pretty awful and called for a full statutory inquiry into public figures from institutions."

— Zack Polanski , Activist

"give space to the police investigation as it unfolds."

— Kemi Badenoch , Politician

"It would be the decent thing for Mountbatten-Windsor to remove himself from the line of succession."

— Andrew Bowie , Politician

"If he is found guilty of this, I think Parliament would be well within its rights to act and remove him from the line of succession."

— Andrew Bowie , Politician

"Any changes to the line of succession would require consultation and agreement with other countries where King Charles, Andrew's brother, is head of state."

— King Charles , Celebrity

"What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities."

— King Charles , Celebrity

"The action outlined above is independent of investigations or assessment work being carried out by other forces."

— Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor , Other

"The government is considering any further steps that might be required, and we're not ruling anything out."

— James Murray , Politician
