Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has confirmed his government supports a proposal to remove Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the United Kingdom’s royal line of succession. The stance feeds into ongoing debate in Australia and other Commonwealth realms over the future role of the British monarchy and their ties to the Crown. It also raises practical questions over how any change to succession rules would be agreed between London and governments in those realms.
