Knighted in 2016, Donaldson’s “Sir” title—and Eleanor’s “Lady” status, granted through marriage—could be stripped under new rules allowing forfeiture of honors for convicted sexual offenders. The Honours Forfeiture Committee, advising the King, will decide, with no rush, likely at their next meeting. Eleanor, deemed unfit to stand trial due to mental health, was found to have aided her husband. Beyond titles, Donaldson may also be removed from the Privy Council, a status often treated as an honor. The process is typically quiet, involving a recommendation to the King and official gazette publication. Ulster Unionist leaders are calling for immediate action, stressing that no one is above the law. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
