Councillors in York unanimously voted to remove Prince Andrew’s honorary freedom of the city
The decision was reached in a vote at a council meeting this evening, following the out of court settlement that was reached with his sexual assault accuser Virginia Giuffre.
Lib Dem Darryl Smalley, City of York Council's executive member for culture, leisure & communities and proposer of the motion, said: "The Honorary Freedom of York is the highest honour we, as a city, can bestow on those who represent the very best of York. The honour is held by many notable and accomplished people who carry it with pride and responsibly.
"The next logical step is now for Prince Andrew to do the right thing and relinquish his Duke of York title.
