York demands Prince Andrew stop using the city’s name
Local lawmakers and council members in York have previously passed resolutions calling for Andrew to be stripped of the title, and have removed honors such as his “Freedom of the City of York.”
The legislation would also allow other individuals “who have not lived up to public expectation” to be stripped of titles.: “Back in February, when we had the focus on the court case, which was being brought against Andrew, my constituents responded that 80% of people wanted the association with the current Duke of York to be broken. And therefore, I met with the clerks here in the Commons to see how it can be achieved.
She discovered there were “no mechanisms in place, even for the monarch, to remove the title. The only real way it could be done is for Andrew to no longer call himself, by choice, the Duke of York.” She added: “Using a title like the Duke of York is an ambassadorial role, it carries the name of our city across the world.
“And it’s a city, which is a Human Rights City, the only Human Rights City in England. We are already in a culture clash when we are talking about violence against women and girls and the issues that we are really working hard on in the city, about making York a very safe place.”, the queen, 96, was recently said by Andrew Morton, author of the bombshell bookHowever, Andrew’s support is likely to run dry when his mother is no longer on the throne.
