Sarah Ferguson could have her Freedom of the City of York revoked after an upcoming council debate.
She received the honour in 1987 as a wedding present from York, a year after marrying Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in 1986.
The City of York Council has scheduled a meeting on March 26 to discuss its removal.
Councillors removed Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s freedom in 2022, the first time such an honour had been taken away.
The only motion in next week’s extraordinary council meeting states: “The Council resolves that, pursuant to Section 249 of the Local Government Act 1972, the City of York Council withdraws the Honorary Freeman of the City status from Sarah Ferguson, which was conferred upon her in 1987.”
Residents, interested parties and councillors have been invited to attend the discussion at The Guildhall in York.
This comes after a six companies linked to the former duchess started winding down in the wake of the publication of the Epstein files, according to Companies House documents.
It said an application to strike off each company was filed, after new revelations about her contact with the late paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein came to light.
The latest tranche of documents to be released included correspondence between the two in which Epstein appeared to ask Ferguson to release a statement saying he was “not a pedo”.
He also wanted her to say that she had been “duped” into believing false allegations about him after she told a newspaper she wanted “nothing ever to do with Jeffrey Epstein ever again”.
Ferguson also appeared to ask Epstein for financial advice while he was in prison and begged him for a job after he was released.
Sarah’s Trust, a charity she had founded, also announced it would close “for the foreseeable future”.
The honorary freedom of the city is bestowed to recognise notable service by local residents, to distinguished people, and to royalty, the council has said previously.
Other recipients of the honour include the Duke of Wellington, Sir Winston Churchill, film composer John Barry, and actress Dame Judi Dench.
