According to a recent Angus Reid Institute poll, a large majority of Canadians, 84%, support the removal of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the line of succession to the British throne. The online survey, conducted with a sample of 1,607 Canadian adults, highlighted that 73% strongly favored this decision. This sentiment reflects a growing discontent over Prince Andrew’s past actions, which have brought negative publicity to the royal family.

Prime Minister Mark Carney recently echoed these sentiments, describing the former prince’s actions as 'deplorable', thus aligning with the public's view on the matter. Despite his strong stance, Carney also stated that he would respect the ongoing processes in the UK regarding royal succession. The results of this poll highlight a significant shift in public perception concerning the monarchy's relevance in Canada, especially in light of recent controversies surrounding Prince Andrew.

With 11% of respondents showing moderate support for the removal and only a small minority opposed, this polling data suggests a clear trend towards distancing Canada from figures associated with scandal within the British royal family. Such public opinion could have implications for discussions about the monarchy's future relevance in Canada and may spur further debate about the ties that bind Canada to the British crown.
