00:01Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is facing criticism after refusing to surrender his freedom of the
00:05City of London following a formal request. The City of London Corporation passed a motion of
00:10censure on Thursday this week, expressing disapproval after he did not respond to a
00:16letter asking him to give up the honour. Officials say his links to convicted sex
00:21offender Jeffrey Epstein make the association incompatible with the role of Freeman.
00:26The court says it cannot remove the freedom directly as it is a protected property right
00:32under law. The court said it had instructed officers to commence proceedings that enable
00:36it to lawfully remove the freedom of the City from the former Prince.
