PA MediaStreets in Northern Ireland named after the former prince Andrew should be renamed, according to a high-profile lawyer who has represented a number of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein.
His association with the convicted sex offender has created difficulties for the Royal Family, but he has always strongly denied any wrongdoing.
The King has “initiated a formal process” to remove Andrew’s titles and he will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, Buckingham Palace announced on Thursday.
Gloria Allred said “let’s not honour anyone who is accused of a sex crime, even if he denies it”.
Earlier this month, Andrew issued a personal statement saying that 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.
EPAVeteran women’s rights lawyer Gloria Allred has represented 27 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaking to Radio Ulster’s Good Morning Ulster programme, she called for a number of roads in Northern Ireland, which were named after Andrew, to be changed.
One of those roads is Prince Andrew Way in Carrickfergus, County Antrim.
“Especially Prince Andrew Way, because we don’t like his way of doing things and the people he associated with,” Allred said.
There are similar street names in south Belfast, including Prince Andrew Park and Prince Andrew Gardens.
In County Tyrone, there is a Prince Andrew Crescent in Moygashel – the sign for which has been defaced in the past.
Ms Allred also said that the King removing Andrew’s titles is the “right action to take”.
“I am also very proud of anyone in Ireland and the UK who stood up and made known their voice and their feelings that there should not be honours for Prince Andrew,” she added.
Ms Allred explained that in the United States of America they have honoured victims by naming park benches after them.
“Let’s honour victims and I think that’s also a measure of justice in reference to the person formerly known as Prince Andrew.”
The titles which have been stripped of Andrew are: Prince, Duke of York, Earl of Inverness, Baron Killyleagh.
The honours of Order of the Garter and Knight Grand Cross of the Victorian Order will also be removed – and he will no longer have the right to be called His Royal Highness.
Andrew, who has continued to face more questions about his private life in recent months, will leave his Windsor mansion, Royal Lodge, Buckingham Palace.
Buckingham Palace said he will move to alternative private accommodation.
In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: “Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.”
A posthumous memoir by Virginia Giuffre, who is not represented by Allred, repeated allegations that, as a teenager, she had sex with Andrew on three separate occasions – claims he has always denied.
