Garrick Club Membership Leak Sparks Gender Equality Debate

Leaked list reveals high-profile members, including King Charles, reigniting discussions on the club's men-only policy.

Leaked documents reveal King Charles among members of the Garrick Club, a men-only establishment, sparking renewed debate over its exclusionary policy.
Senior figures from various sectors, including politics, the judiciary, and the arts, are identified as members, highlighting the club's influence within the British establishment.
Critics, including politicians and campaigners for gender equality, argue that membership in such clubs contradicts public commitments to gender equality.
A vote on allowing women members is expected in June, following a narrowly failed motion in 2015 due to the club's two-thirds majority requirement.
The controversy underscores ongoing challenges in achieving gender equality in influential social and professional circles.
