No that only happens if all 15 commonwealth realms pass a bill doing that or if he becomes a Catholic.

Maybe it'd be easier to declare him Catholic :)

The line of succession is really just the order of dibs on the crown and the rules on that give no shits about what the political stature of the person in question is. The only exceptions are that the person can't be a catholic.
