"Elected members have today agreed to write to Mr Mountbatten-Windsor, inviting him to formally relinquish the Freedom. Applications via patrimony are not considered or endorsed by our elected members."
"The former prince was stripped of his royal titles, styles and honours by King Charles last year after further details of his relationship with the convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein came to light."
"In February Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office after correspondence in the Epstein Files suggested he may have passed on sensitive trade information."
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been invited by councillors to give up his inherited Freedom of the City of London, which he received in 2012. The honour was granted due to his father, Prince Philip, being a Freeman. The City of London Corporation stated that applications via patrimony are not endorsed by elected members. Andrew was stripped of his royal titles by King Charles after revelations about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. He was arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct but has denied any wrongdoing.
