"Alderman Martha Grekos raised the issue during a recent council meeting, urging the corporation to 'do whatever is necessary' to remove the title, arguing its failure to do so sent a message to women."
"The Corporation concluded it could not strip the disgraced former prince of the Freedom of the City of London following a review earlier this month."
"Grekos called the corporation's position 'unattainable and self-harming', demanding that Lady Mayor Susan Langley reconsider the decision."
"City Remembrancer Paul Wright explained it was 'very difficult' to remove the Freedom but said he was in discussions with the City Solicitor."
Alderman Martha Grekos has urged the City of London Corporation to strip Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of the Freedom of the City of London. She argues that failing to do so sends a negative message to women. The corporation concluded it lacks the power to remove the title after a review. Grekos criticized the corporation's stance as 'unattainable and self-harming' and called for reconsideration. The City Remembrancer acknowledged the difficulty in removing the honor but mentioned ongoing discussions with the City Solicitor.
