Prince Andrew has lost the Freedom of the City of York after councillors voted unanimously to strip him of the honour in the wake of his settlement in a sexual abuse case.
The vote was taken at a City of York council meeting on Wednesday where several councillors and members of public also called for Andrew to relinquish his Duke of York title and thereby remove what Labour councillor Aisling Musson called: “This stain of an association with this city.”
