The Queen 'will NOT strip' Prince Andrew of his Duke of York honour (Daily Mail)

The Queen will 'certainly not' take Prince Andrew's Duke of York title off him - after councillors in the city voted to strip him of the honour.

The duke will make a 'substantial donation' to a charity for sex abuse victims set up by Mrs Roberts, now a 38-year-old mother-of-three. It had been expected that the Dean of Westminster would take the Queen to her seat, with Andrew behind. The Treasury insisted: 'No public money has been used to pay legal or settlement fees.' Phil Pinder, a retailer in the famous cathedral city told The York Press in February: 'York deserves better. There were two formal abstentions - from the Lord Mayor and Lord Mayor elect. He added: 'I would like to challenge the council. The next logical step is now for Prince Andrew to do the right thing and relinquish his Duke of York title. They were also given roles in running the city. The next logical step is now for Prince Andrew to do the right thing and relinquish his Duke of York title' We need to do more than the easy bit, which is to remove his freedom.'
