"The former prince was stripped of his royal titles, styles and honours by King Charles last year after further details of his relationship with the convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein came to light. In February he was arrested after correspondence in the Epstein Files suggested he may have passed on sensitive trade information, and was released under investigation after spending 11 hours in custody. He has denied any wrongdoing."
The City of London plans to express disapproval of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor after he did not respond to a letter asking him to relinquish his Freedom of the City of London. He received the Freedom in 2012 by virtue of patrimony because his father, Prince Philip, was a Freeman. The Freedom is a legal right inherited through family status and is largely ceremonial, though it is still awarded regularly. The City says there is no effective legal mechanism to remove a Freedom. The Freedom includes the tradition of walking sheep over London Bridge. Mountbatten-Windsor was stripped of royal titles and honours by King Charles after more details about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein emerged, and he was arrested in February over correspondence suggesting he may have passed sensitive trade information, which he denies.
