"I do think the question of the size of the family and all that they do, but I do think the public as a whole would want to see those kind of changes and the debate around the behavior of Prince Andrew has actually brought that to the fore", said Corbyn.
It comes after Andrew stepped down from public duties in the wake of his disastrous Newsnight interview about his association with disgraced paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, who took his own life in jail earlier this year while facing sex trafficking charges.
An interview with Virginia Giuffre, who claims she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew three times at the age of 17 in 2001 and 2002, will air in an hour-long special on BBC's "Panorama" Monday evening.
Ms Giuffre will tell her story and reveal new details about her time with Epstein, the BBC said.
Berthelson claimed Prince Charles has been making "major decisions" and has noticeably stepped up during events that were traditionally run by the Queen.

"I don't see him ever undertaking royal duties again, and any hope that his daughters would is now gone", Barger told Daily Star.
Andrew strenuously denies the claims, and Buckingham Palace has branded the allegations "false and without any foundation", stating: "Any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors" by the duke was "categorically untrue".
Charlie Proctor, editor of Royal Central, also believes the royal crisis has only strengthened Charles' desire to restructure the monarchy.

During the interview, Andrew said his relationship with Epstein gave him the opportunity to meet people and help prepare for the official role.
Following the disaster interview, Charles paused his royal tour for "stern words" with his brother.
The royal family apparently has "real concerns" about what Ms Giuffre might say and fear the possibility of the involvement of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
