Don’t think you are going to get away with this one for too long, Randy Andy. There’s a new report that says a vote to strip Prince Andrew from his honorary freedom from the city of York has been delayed because of a local outbreak of COVID-19. Here’s what you need to know.
According to reports, the ruling Liberal Democrat group on York Council wants to revoke the city’s highest honor which was granted to the Prince in 1987. The City of York Council was due to hold an extraordinary meeting on Thursday evening to consider the motion:
Vote To Strip Prince Andrew From His Honorary Freedom Delayed Because Of COVID-19
“The Council resolves that pursuant to Section 249 of the Local Government Act 1972, the City of York Council withdraws the Honorary Freeman of the City status from the Duke of York which was conferred upon him in 1987.”
It comes after his out of court settlement of a civil sex assault case brought against him by Virginia Giuffre. Now that he’s settled out of court for a reported $16 million with his sexual abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre, a lot of people can’t help but wonder what’s next for the Duke of York.
Giuffre has claimed she was trafficked by convicted sex offender Epstein and others to Andrew, who is alleged to have sexually abused her when she was 17, a minor under US law. She also alleged the royal forced her to engage in sex acts against her will at Epstein’s mansion on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
Meanwhile, one source close to the situation says the Duke of York snuck over to Windsor Castle from his home at Royal Lodge every night last week to discuss his future with the monarchy.
“Andrew has been very careful and is trying to keep out of sight. He knows there are photographers in the daytime and his best chance to avoid them is after dark,” a source told the outlet.
“He knows he is meant to be keeping his head down and it’s a short trip, but he is extremely contrite and apologized to the Queen for all the trouble he has caused her.”
