Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

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.
