Councillors in York are planning to remove Prince Andrew’s freedom of the city.
Liberal Democrats, who form the largest group on the city’s council, said a motion to begin the process of removing the honour will be submitted at the next full meeting on March 24.
The motion will also call for the prince to relinquish his title as Duke of York in the wake of his settlement with Virginia Giuffre following her civil sex claim against him.
Andrew, the Duke of York, was given the honorary freedom of the city in 1987.
He has faced widespread calls for him to give up the dukedom, which is one of his last remaining major titles after the Queen stripped him of his honorary military roles and he gave up his HRH style.
The honorary freedom of the city is bestowed to recognise notable service, to distinguished people and to royalty.
Darryl Smalley, of City of York council, said: “Having been stripped of his military roles and royal patronages by the Queen, we are seeking to end Prince Andrew’s links with our city, including removing his honorary freedom.”
