Andrew Mountbatten Windsor: Council to debate street name change in Carrickfergus

Monday’s agenda for Mid and East Antrim Council’s monthly meeting includes a proposal from Alliance to rename the street.

It calls for the street name to be changed while still “maintaining the important link to the Royal Family”.

The motion goes on to say that as the council has been considering ways to honour Queen Elizabeth II, renaming it after her could be a “fitting tribute”.

A small number of homes are situated on the street, as well as some businesses.

Other political parties including the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) have also said they are in favour of the street being renamed, but it is not clear how long the process could take if the council agrees to the move on Monday evening.

Earlier in October, Andrew issued a personal statement saying he would be relinquishing all of his royal titles, including the Duke of York.

This included his title of Baron Killyleagh which had been awarded to him by his mother, Elizabeth II, on his wedding day in 1986.

It followed the re-emergence of emails from 2011, showing Andrew in contact with Epstein months after he claimed their friendship ended.

The stripping of all of Andrew’s titles was formally published earlier this month.
