The City of York has decided to revoke Prince Andrew’s Freedom of the City status after he was accused of sexual abuse by Virginia Giuffre. The Duke of York, 62, who was friends with the late Jeffrey Epstein, reached a financial settlement with Virginia earlier this year – meaning the prince avoided court.
