A City of London Corporation spokesman said: “Our thoughts remain with the victims of Jeffrey Epstein, and with all victims and survivors of sexual abuse and exploitation. “We are developing a process that would allow the freedom of the City of London to be removed where appropriate, having determined that there is currently no effective lawful mechanism to do so. “If elected members approve the new process, they will then consider whether Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s freedom should be removed. ”There has been some discussion that the corporation could draft a bill, which Parliament would have to pass, allowing it to strip him of the honour. The spokesman suggested that the corporation would rather move at a quicker pace, carrying out its own process to allow the move. He said: “We understand why people want this matter resolved as quickly as possible, and we share that desire. “The fastest and most appropriate approach is to put in place a lawful process that allows the City corporation to make these decisions itself, rather than seeking legislation through Parliament. “We are progressing that work and, if elected members approve the new process, they will then be able to consider whether Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s freedom should be removed. ”Tags:AndrewAndrew Mountbatten WindsorbeatriceBritish Royal Familycity-of-londonduke of yorkEugeniejeffrey epsteinMountbatten-WindsorNewsPrince andrewprincess beatricePrincess EugenieRoyal FamiliesRoyal FamilyStandardthe royal familyuk news
