Some people think the two pubs in York called 'The Duke of York' should change their names.

It's after Prince Andrew was stripped of his title of Freedom of the City by Councillors.

Many are keen to distance themselves from the Queen's son after allegations of sexual assault.

He always denied doing anything wrong.

Katie Willes is from the Campaign for Real Ale and says it wouldn't be straightforward for landlords. "They would have to pay a fee, they will then have to get all their material re printed which is a huge cost to businesses who have already been hit during the pandemic."
