There’s been growing calls for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to be removed from the British line of succession ever since he was first involved with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. But after the former duke was arrested on February 19, these cries have only increased—and now two Commonwealth countries have stepped up to share their support for his removal.
Ousting a member of the Royal Family from the line of succession requires not only approval from the U.K. government, but from all 14 Commonwealth countries that King Charles serves as head of state. As of February 24, both Australia and New Zealand have both expressed that they will back any plans for Andrew to be removed from the line of succession.
