New Zealand's Prime Minister has said he will back any plans to remove Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the line of royal succession. It comes as British ministers are understood to be considering legislation to remove Andrew from the line of succession once a police investigation has concluded. Christopher Luxon's announcement that he would support removing the shamed former prince came after Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese vowed to do the same. A spokesperson for Mr Luxon, New Zealand's premier, said: 'If the UK Government proposes to remove Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the order of succession, New Zealand would support it. The UK Government has said any proposals would come after the police investigation concludes.'
