Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese advocated this Monday for removing former Prince Andrew from the line of succession to the British throne following his arrest last week. In a letter sent to his British counterpart Keir Starmer, Albanese said: “my government would accept any proposal to remove you from the royal line of succession.” “These are serious allegations and Australians take them seriously,” Albanese added. The British Government is considering passing a law to remove from the line of succession to the throne Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, suspected of misconduct in the exercise of public office, when he was the United Kingdom’s special envoy for international trade, between 2001 and 2011.
