New rule means Andrew can be stripped of Freedom of the City

• The City of London Corporation has approved a new legal process enabling it to strip the Freedom of the City of London from individuals.
• The decision follows a legal review which concluded that there was previously no effective lawful mechanism to revoke the honour.
• The new process will be applied as a matter of urgency to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who failed to surrender the title despite being asked to in May.
• Andrew inherited the Freedom of the City of London in 2012 by patrimony, making it one of his final remaining honours.
• A formal proposal to strip Andrew of the honour is expected to return to the court of common council for a decision in December.
