Australia will support a plan to remove Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from ever becoming king, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has confirmed overnight. '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,' Albanese wrote. Albanese is also expected to write to the leaders of the other 14 Commonwealth nations on Tuesday about the matter. 'We are considering whether further steps are required in relation to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and we are not ruling anything out,' the spokesman added. At least nine police forces in the UK are believed to have launched investigations into accusations made against Mountbatten-Windsor.
