New Zealand has announced its support for the UK government’s potential removal of Prince Andrew from the line of royal succession due to his connections to Jeffrey Epstein. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese also expressed his government’s backing for this move and stated that the law should take its course in investigating the allegations against the former prince. The UK would need the agreement of the 14 other Commonwealth nations with King Charles III as head of state to make any changes to the royal succession. Prince Andrew, who was stripped of his royal title last year, has denied any wrongdoing but has not directly addressed the recent allegations of misconduct in public office.
