Now that Anduin is King of Stormwind, the quest text implies that Anduin was kidnapped by the Defias at some point...
Looks like they just replaced "Varian" with "Anduin" in all quests without regard to the rest of the text...
In Shadowlands, if you're on Battle for Azeroth: Tides of War the throne room is totally empty. You can abandon Tides of War and the room will repopulate... but of course Varian, nor Anduin is there... so talk to [npc=1750] instead. I thought Chromie Time was supposed to fix this stuff ;-)

What to do
Description
Although Onyxia has been exposed and removed from the court, the Defias who carried out her plan must be punished. Carry word to Grand Admiral Jes-Tereth in Stormwind castle that the Defias are the ones who carried out the Varian's kidnapping. I have little doubt that Stormwind's armies will mete out swift and terrible justice to those involved. I can use my magic to expedite your trip to Stormwind. Just speak to me when you're prepared to go, {name}.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Survey Alcaz Island
It looks like Renn's hunch about Alcaz Island was right. We need to survey that island, but it would take a whole brigade of troops to fight our way in there.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Return to Jaina
We must make plans to destroy the remnants of the Defias. Please convey my thanks to Lady Jaina, back in Theramore. She has ever been a loyal friend and steadfast ally. Go to the Mage Quarter at the western end of the city and speak with Archmage Malin at the foot of the tower there.
