My short Bill, 'The Removal of Titles Bill', will fix this; I hope it can now be supported by Parliament.

It is time for Parliament to act so that it can, or the Monarch can, remove titles. The Duke of York title may no longer be being used by its holder, but it has not been removed. #York #RoyalTitles #RemovalOfTitles #DukeOfYork
