Removal in what sense? Are you seeking clarification on why the monarchy should be abolished, or the benefits of imposing exile?

I’m not talking about the benefits.

I’m talking about what legal process is used, and what grounds are given for that process.

It would be done by statute. The only grounds necessary would be that Parliament is sovereign.

Of course, it would need a majority in both Houses, and in practical terms would require popular approval too.
