According to a report by People magazine, Prince Harry will not be among the Counsellors of State that King Charles could call upon when he heads to the hospital to treat an enlarged prostate.

The Times also reported that Prince Harry’s Counsellor of State eligibility was quietly nullified soon after King Charles’ accession.

The legislation was passed by parliament in late 2022 and it restricts those who can act as substitute to "working members of the royal family".

It effectively sidelines Prince Andrew and Harry, even though both remain counsellors of state.

King Charles will be admitted to hospital next week for treatment for an enlarged prostate, Buckingham Palace said Wednesday.
