In a significant development, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has expressed support for removing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the royal line of succession following his recent arrest linked to allegations of misconduct involving Jeffrey Epstein. In a letter to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Albanese stated, "My Government would agree to any proposal to remove him from the line of royal succession. These are grave allegations and Australians take them seriously." Andrew, who remains eighth in line to the throne, was arrested on February 19, his 66th birthday, for allegedly sharing sensitive government information with Epstein during his tenure as a trade envoy from 2001 to 2011. The UK government is currently considering legislation to facilitate this removal, pending the outcome of ongoing police investigations, as confirmed by Starmer's spokesman: "It wouldn’t be appropriate for the government to comment further at this stage" due to the active inquiry.
