It certainly feels like yet another case of “Australia says thing and no one cares”. Firstly, the monarchy rules Australia so they can do what they want without Australia having a say. Secondly, Andrew is so far down the line of succession that this is a fairly pointless thing to even mention. Unless Prince Harry and Prince William (with all three of his kids) all have some sort of freak accident in a Parisian tunnel, Andrew will never live to see the throne anyway. Even if Charles, his kids AND their kids ALL get wiped out, Anne is next in line before Andrew. So… whatever. Slow clap for Albo I guess.
Wait, if he’s no longer prince, how can he still be in the line of succession?

Line of succession
A member of the royal family can also be removed from the line of succession to the throne by legislation, although under a convention enshrined in the preamble to the Statute of Westminster 1931 this would require the consent of every other Commonwealth Realm (independent states where the King is also head of state).
Prince as the title. Everyone that is son/daughter of the king/queen of England have the title of prince/princess. Different to other monarchies that only the 1st on the line of succession have the title of Prince.
Is it still possible to get him out of the line of succession by forcing him to convert to Catholicism?
This is what I was trying to figure out, too. I feel like this should be automatic.
The Monarch Formerly Known as Prince
I feel bad for writing that, like I just insulted Prince simply by association.
I’d like to see removal of the entire line of succession. Let’s do the CEO thing and make them state what good they do for the client.
It’s crazy that Australia would need to weigh in, but here we are still.
Well, he’s in the line of succession to become the king of Australia.
What are the chances that there are more royals in on it and they’re sacrificing him as their pedophile goat?
Fairly slim: there aren’t a huge number of royals to begin with, only Andrew had a reputation for partying, only Andrew had ties to Epstein (there is enough evidence with Andrew in that any other royals with Epstein ties would be in there somewhere too), and at the end of the day it’s not their decision.
Who gets to be in the line of succession is a matter for parliament, not the royal family.
I just imagine the King getting a letter from one of the Commonwealth heads of state and wiping his ass with it, they knew about this for years and did nothing until it was too big to possibly ignore
He’s only allowing this to happen because people started calling him a pedo protector in public and he is finally listening to his pr team to back away from the pedo, the people are turning on you.
If people didnt harrass him, he’d still be protecting his pedo brother.
After acknowledging that Palestinian people exist, this may be the bravest thing Albo has ever done.
I wonder where growing up in housing commission flats in the 70s sits on that list.
Actually no, I want Andrew to be arrested, and then become king, and force the commonwealth to decide if they want a paedophile king from prison or no king at all.
