Australia backs removing Andrew from royal line of succession
"Anthony Albanese expressed his support for such a proposal in a letter to the UK prime minister. Andrew remains eighth in line to the throne despite being stripped of his titles, including "prince", in October 2025 amid pressure over his ties to paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein. The UK government is considering introducing legislation to remove him from the line of succession."
""Dear Prime Minister Starmer, in light of recent events concerning Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, I am writing to confirm that my government would agree to any proposal to remove him from the line of royal succession. "I agree with His Majesty that the law must now take its full course and there must be a full, fair and proper investigation. "These are grave allegations and Australians take them seriously.""

The UK government is considering legislation to remove him from the line of succession. The development follows Andrew's arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office; he has consistently and strenuously denied wrongdoing. Albanese said the law must take its full course and called for a full, fair and proper investigation, noting Australians take the allegations seriously.
