Demoted Harry’s thumbs up!

- By Royal Correspond­ent

WILLIAM and Kate’s new baby will be fifth in line to the throne – pushing their uncle Harry into sixth place.

Whether they’re a prince or princess, the 013 shake-up of royal succession to remove male bias means the baby will be behind both brother George and sister Charlotte, as well as their father and grandfathe­r.

Harry drops down in the pecking order, but as sixth in line he will still need the Queen’s permission to marry should he pop the question to actress girlfriend Meghan Markle.

Prince Andrew will drop to seventh in line, and so will no longer need his mother’s permission to marry.

His daughters Beatrice and Eugenie are next in line, with Prince Edward in tenth.
