Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is to be stripped of the freedom of the City of London after refusing to voluntarily relinquish the honour.
The former prince - who was stripped of his titles and royal privileges by King Charles last October over his links to late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein - received the privilege in 2012 by "virtue of patrimony" because his late father, Prince Philip, had been a freeman but in April, the City of London Corporation wrote to him to ask him to give it up, but he failed to respond.
