City of London Reviews Whether to Strip Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor of Freedom of the City

Officials say the patrimony route complicates removal, prompting a review of the rules.

Overview

  • The City of London Corporation said Andrew received the Freedom by patrimony and confirmed it is considering the rules and procedures for rescinding such honours.
  • No decision has been announced, and the Corporation said it is listening to concerns as it examines the circumstances in which removal could occur.
  • The civic review follows Buckingham Palace’s recent steps to remove Andrew’s royal styles, titles and honours through a formal process.
  • Palace statements and reporting say formal notice was served to surrender his Royal Lodge lease, with relocation planned to private accommodation on the Sandringham estate.
  • GB News reports that Andrew did not respond by the November 20 deadline to a voluntary U.S. House Oversight request, and that Sarah Ferguson is weighing paid offers for a televised interview.
